Equalizer

i sometimes drive down the freeway at 35 miles an hour it pisses people off but i don’t do it just to piss people off i just enjoy watching all the cars speeding past when it rains i turn off the windshield wipers and watch the world turn into an impressionist painting little dots that shift and move and become renoir runabouts and monet mercedes slithering past me i suppose if i looked into the faces of the drivers i’d see little impressionistic frowns and scowls and even a clenched fist or two but i don’t look especially at night i just stare at the driplets of light and listen to the big band music playing over my eight track sometimes i stick my arm out of the window and make aerodynamic motions up and down in the wind like a sine wave and the rain slaps my hand and little coloured beads slide down my wrist and crawl past my elbow and collect in my armpit and i just smile and smile as the angry people pass me by sometimes i even forget about the pistol in my glove box.
