What I See On the Way to School

Do you see her?

The lady who watches the traffic on the way to school.

She has a slightly right-listing beehive hairdo, square glasses, a pug nose and a somewhat jowly chin. I think she keeps pencils in that hair. Or maybe a Pocket Beretta, just in case she needs it. She has a librarianish air to her, but don’t be fooled. She’s in charge and you don’t want to cross her.

No speeding in this zone, scumbag; I will eff you up. Don’t you even think about running that red light. I saw that look in your eye, I’m watching you, buddy!

Do you see her now?

It’s a safer street with her around.
