Driving
by Jason Fisk
While I was driving, this mother fucker rides up on my ass and honks as he
passes me. (I’ve slowed down since the birth of my daughter, I think it is a
combination of my wildly active imagination, the two years I worked in an
Emergency Room and my enormous love for my daughter).
Like I said, the mother fucker honks and then passes,
or passes and then honks,
cuz I didn’t get a good look at him at the time.
He then cuts me off and I say “fuck” out loud.
My daughter is in her car seat, just listening for words to repeat,
and yes,
she starts repeating the word “fuck” over and over.
Well now, I’m really pissed
because in my mind
this fucker has been the catalyst for the introduction of this foul word to
my daughter.
I switch lanes and swerve behind this guy’s old broke down Renault Alliance.
I immediately notice two things,
the first is his “Ultimate Fighter” bumper sticker,
the second is the size
and lumpiness of the silhouette of this guy’s head.
I’m thinking this guy has to be retarded or something.
I then have to pass this guy to see what kind of person drives a Renault
Alliance,
has an “Ultimate Fighter” bumper sticker
and has such and enormous, lumpy head.
My foot hits the gas and I quickly pull up beside him.
My foot eased off the gas in awe
when I see this guy’s hair.
It was a graying masterpiece.
The once silhouetted lumps
were now intricate waves of plastered hair feathering
into other intricate lumps of feathered hair.
A masterpiece I thought
as my daughter said “fuck, fuck fuck…”
To which I said “fuck’n-a-right kid, fuck’n-a-right.”
