consider this that.
WNT STP
three stop lights into the trip,
a large black man on a harley
pulls up next to me.
his license plate says BIG RNO,
and i can see where that comes from.
i smile.
it’s almost as good as
the ninety-year old woman
exiting the freeway in front of me
with a license plate that says WNT STP.
i get stuck at the next light,
and, sure enough, she doesn’t.
my MAINT REQD light goes on,
and, in my head, i start making a map
to the nearest mechanic.
but at least somewhere up there i’m thinking,
what would WNT STP do?
