filler poem

she was listening to bob dylan when the car crash happened
several cars ahead of her; traffic stopped
it made her pout a little, and tilt the rearview mirror and reapply her lipstick
(she was going to see anthony)
and she saw, then, the man behind her who was taking the opportunity
of the jam
to hold up a note:
i love you
written backwards so that she could read it
it covered his face and she couldn't see who it was
but she always wondered who the man in the blue sedan was

I really liked this! Did you write it yourself?
It wasn't so much the writing as the situation you portrayed. I could really see it in my mind.

(and, of course, thanks for leaving your comment on my blog, yours is good too!)
