driver contrast

unsure driver inches into the parking lot
I have a pet snail who could outwalk this car
a man gets out
figures

a speed demon races up the road
takes the corner on one wheel
screeches her tires as she hops the curb
a woman gets out

I figure all the old guy has in his life is hours of tedious tv time
whereas, she has to clean, cook, and babysit grandchildren
