this morning #1062.

this morning, the “don’t walk” signals were mercilessly mocking me. i swear. each & every time i reached an intersection, i was greeted by a steady evil orange hand instructing me to put my day on pause for a moment so the goddamn cars can pass. i get it. we all have places to be. i should wait my turn. surrender to the flow. accept my pedestrian, second-class status as a pedestrian. never mind the fact that it takes me much longer to get where i’m going. never mind that i’m doing my best to avoid destroying the planet while they zip along without a care in the world. don’t mind me. i’ll just be standing here on the corner like a sucker, helplessly hoping for change.
