Watch Out

my internal voice yelled “watch out!
He is going to pull out in front of you!”
I slowed down for a motorcyclist.
A mother’s son
A brother
a cousin
a grandmother’s joy
who pulled out in front of my car
missing my hood by six feet
I have no idea if he saw me or my car
but I saw him
the boy I saved
