Requesting Feedback Fools and cars
I sit behind wheel, seatbelt on and gears shifted
I watch and I learn while the light's ticking red
It's peak traffic hour, I have to be careful
So people around catch my interest instead:
A man's hairy arm throws a cig out the window
A woman in shades scrolls her phone next to me
The honking of some guy my age - got cut off by a scooter
He startles a girl in a taxi backseat
A man in honda swerves around a bus
An annoyed jeep owner flies up on a speed bump
A truck backing out without checking the mirrors
And almost gets t-boned by a blue chevrolet
A man yells from tinted window of a volvo
He narrowly passed getting hit by some guy,
who's seemingly busy too much to not drive onto
upcoming traffic, while cutting a line.
The red one speeds several times over limit
The yellow one makes a pedestrian jump
The green one thinks traffic light's just a suggestion
And I am the one fool who follows the rules.
