people talk with their hands instinctivelynaturally
dafuk
he
talked with his handsknocked drinks out of other peoples hands Ey tolya dun stand so close dun stand so close Ey need rum when eym talkinrum to explain Dammit Gimme rum
he drove a straight car
which meant
his car was old he rolled his windows upandown
by hand fivespeed on the floor no cruise no funny shit nothing cute jammed into every nook an cranny as
in new cars Nah ya cant die in oneairbags
deploy from every fuckin angle
thats the trouble with new cars once inside them no one fears death
Gawd doesnt save
Technology
does
he preferred his car
he preferred drivin alonenever
offered rides he liked ridinlow squat his ass parked in a bucket seat
the car was made of American steelfuk alloys an
what little plastic there was was made to look like wood a minor irritation
he walked to the marketslung a
cloth bag over his shoulder to carry his groceries
he stood at an intersection
local
government had installed crossing signs evidently
pedestrians dont know the difference between a red light or green light or traffic
hurtling down on them or STOPped at the light
standing there he was
bemused then horrified an upscale car
whistled through the intersection exceeding the posted speed limit the driver a woman haresponsibly talked via Bluetooth Standard installed in the expensive car ahTechnology but what was it going to do about the fact that
she went through the intersection talking talking with her hands neither on
the steering wheel she made him think of
the brick he ought to be carrying in the bag to toss into the intersection and
see what transpired
would he be negligent tossing it
or rather her because she was unable to avoid it
Whaddafuck he thought Eyll stand hare a bit an louk watchie
in the course of three lights
five drivers passed through the intersection conversing
their hands juggling their words
it didnt matter he didnt carry the
one brick nowhe couldnt carry enough bricks to make people recognise their obligationtheir
fulsome responsibilities as they drove lethal weapons
GAWDs done saving!
the monkeys were leaving it to Technology
from where he stood they were
welcome to it
they had forgotten the line Do not go gentle into that good night
