monday poem 12
- The husband of the woman
- who works at the hospital
- arrives late to drop her off
- and chases the bus for blocks
- honking
- until he cuts
- in front of the bus
- and stops suddenly.
- Why should the bus driver
- open his door for her
- as she curses him?
- It’s hard for all of us,
- but it’s clear that some of it
- is self-inflicted and some
- is inflicted on others.
