While I drive
one hundred miles
per hour down Facebook
glancing at the angry neighbors
taking out their trash
and taking pictures
of their food
(yes, I do that)
They scowl and I
cuss and laugh
until someone
does it to me.
Then I scowl and wonder
how anyone can be
so flip about what matters
the cilantro, the avocado,
the trip I took
to Kansas
or Philadelphia
but now I have
my foot on the gas
and I laugh and laugh.
