To the Gorgeous Woman in Traffic

Dear gorgeous lady,
in your brand new convertible.
With your blonde hair and makeup
and expensive purse.

You had a little dog
on the seat next to you.
It had a pink ribbon
on its collar.

Dear gorgeous lady,
the world can not touch you.
Not even in traffic.

Dear gorgeous lady,
I wanted to thank you
for taking the time
to pick your nose
at the red light.

Right index finger
two knuckles deep
in your nostril.

Searching to buy another coach bag
with the gold contained within?

I wanted to thank you
for the reassurance
that none of us
are above
being
human.
