I Love Cars
They seem
More aggressive this year
Engine revving
Beside me
Mass of metal
Speeding by
Like a very large bullet
Anger in the rumble
Toxicity in the smell
I no longer judge them
I have been angry
Frustration
Looking for a target
What better than
A cyclist
In tights and
High visibility
Jacket
On what basically is
An onramp so
If the car horn screams
Shiny metal
Death streaks
Past me at a light
I am not perturbed
Not angry
I am present
And though you curse me
I love you
Because you are me
And I love me
Even when I
Am in the rotary
Sometimes
As I see you go
Angrily by
I wish
You could
Have what I have
This road intimacy
This raw velocity
The wind and sweat
Tell you a
Secret
Sometimes
When it’s raining
And I have a flat
I wish I was you
