Stop

The stop sign became lopsided on July 24th. It started when- Cars became designed to move too quickly for us to handle. My first car rolled up to that stop sign. When it was new and my car was blue. I learned to drive back in those days. The stop sign became lopsided on July 24th. Probably someone should have driven more slowly, probably… …they were fine though, but they paid a fine for their reckless driving. The stop sign has been lopsided ever since. It ended up being perfectly ok. No one was hurt, no one was in agonizing pain in the crash. I saw it from my window. July is one of those months. I called for help, but he was fine. I became a little lopsided that day. I don’t know why. I always drive safer and safer and safer… I drive too slowly sometimes. Just in case. It didn’t stop anything though. I've been a safer driver since then. But my brain turned over anyway.
