Bitumen Pate

I am standing in the middle of the road
waiting to cross
traffic rushes across on either side
being here always fills me with a slight twinge of fear
I wait and wait and wait
but it just doesn't seem to stop

the I start to notice how nice the sun's warmth feels on
my face
how the sky is so blue
the day is perfect
I'm losing the plot

Ian, Gayle and Aaron snap me out of it
crossing from the other side and propelling me over.
