Notes About The Poem

Road Rage

It takes two to tango, 
as they say. 
It also takes two 
to road rage. 
It sure is fun watching 
two insane, 
out-of-control knuckleheads 
zigzag aggressively 
on the highway
with their driver windows down;
honking their car horns,
screaming 
vile obscenities back and forth!
Classy guys exchanging "bird flips"
as they chase each other down; 
both angry enough 
to run each other off the road, 
if they ever end up
side by side! 
Can you imagine 
being caught up in that craziness?
Two banshees on steroids;
funny considering
one can't understand the other.
That's exactly how to communicate!
In the midst 
of all the chaotic madness,
me and you; two safe drivers 
sharing the road with two idiots 
without a care in the world 
about the safety of others; 
completely oblivious 
they're also playing Russian Roulette 
with their own lives. 
Neither of the two
possessing the presence of mind 
to simply disengage 
and turn down the heat 
before it spells disaster!  
Do not tailgate 
these uncivilized loons.
Pullover to the shoulder, 
or better yet, 
take the next exit to safety.
