The Asphalt Sea

not looking to left, or right, another rider drove 
straight into her, knocking her off her blue Yamaha 
and out into the asphalt sea,
then…looking quickly round, (for steam rollers) 
she jumped up, like one of those sea-gods in a 
Japanese movie, slashing the mountain of stares 
with her katana... those  grim-faced drudges who’d 
never erred themselves: and she shone her light
back at them, refusing to look at the  ground,and 
shouted  out aloud,

                        ”KISS MY ****!”

and they bravely looked away. .. except the owner of the hair 
and nail boutique, who smiled as she walked her way.
