Road Work Ahead

I picture myself on a bicycle
speeding past this fallopian tube of a man 
with the stop sign
squeezing cars through one at a time
like unfertilized eggs
that disappear 
into a blur 
of uterine dust

I need to get to work on my own road
if he would just flip that sign over
I promise
I will go slow
