Faith Ellen Lam Poet Free verse

A Pleasant Day For a Drive

There’s something richly picturesque
About the contortion of a man who has just
Swerved into the left lane in order to throw ugly gestures
At you through your open window--
All for shifting to the right
So you wouldn’t miss your exit.

I smile back in relief that
He didn’t need to be in the right lane
After all

Gershon Wolf June 7, 2019 at 5:42 PM I like the way you've framed this, Faith Ellen, and especially the way you've wound it down to a succinct denouement, 'after all.' 'Richly picturesque' -- nice turn of phrase there... And welcome to Poetry Soup. I think you'll enjoy it here. Here's to your poems! Best wishes, Gershon
