Road Rage

Road Rage is a poem by David Erickson From his Stupid Poems collection.

On my way to work,
I sort of cut
A guy off in
Traffic.

He started riding
My ass
So I pumped
My breaks to
Get him
To back off.

He went all
Road-ragey on me,
Nearly side swiped me
As he sped by,
Then got in front of me
And slammed to a stop
Until
He’d forced me
From the road.

When I told my
Friends about this,
They had no sympathy.

Thanks.
For that.
Friends.
