When We Asked Why in Parking Lots
When We Asked Why in Parking Lots - a poem by Amy Campbell
Why wouldn't someone look behind them
while pulling out of a parking lot?
Twenty cars pulled into little spaces,
sometimes too close,
close enough to make several three point turns
and rocking back and forth
to find room for the ass of my car.
Small Periwinkle Matrix
with a lady driver of matching hair and car tint,
please glance behind your shoulder
before death and a dent to the front of my
car and day are caused by your carelessness.
To summarize, when you're pulling out of a parking space in church, please make sure no one else is pulling out at the same time. Oh, and when they honk at you at that sound is coming from the vicinity of the back passenger side of your car, you may want to stop immediately rather than waiting for their honking to become more frantic. Because I literally had no where else to point my car than the way it was going already. Thanks.
