In a split second the light goes from red to
green.
The foot slips from the sidewalk onto the
crosswalk.
Instead of running to the opposite side,
The crossing is done arrogantly and leisurely.
Leisurely as if window shopping.
Eyes meet but do not greet.
Something stirs deep down inside of me.
Something that I have never sensed before.
Like a dark force pushing me.
Urging me to end the arrogance,
Simply by stepping on the gas pedal.
The eyes interlocking as the footsteps approach.
Oh, the arrogance!
Oh, the nerve!
Time is not on my side- I am late.
No matter how enjoyable succumbing to the beast
would be,
“Love thy others”
is remarkably stronger.
