life is often like that.

some days, i ride along
so hyper-aware of everything around me.
scent of morning traffic.
slant of sun.
wind direction.
i am so unconsciously processing
it always astounds me when
unsubtle and loud
i sense something
HUGE
approaching


it's always too late as i
brace myself for the inevitable to come
certain catastrophe
encroaching

and
THEN
with
nerves
jangling
i realize
that
HUGE SEMI TRUCK
or passenger bus
is headed
MY WAY
as only


a
shadow

a giggly relief:
it's good to know,
life is often like that.
