So Close

Phil told me to drive slowly when going downhill.
I thought that I was.

So when I stepped on the brakes
And felt the anti-lock clicking underfoot
And no diminishment of speed,
I knew that I was coming
To an intersection
And if there was a car there,
We would collide.

It would either happen or not,
But I wouldn’t know until I got there.

A car passed right in front of me
And then I was at the stop sign,
And there was a black Jeep,
And we were going to hit
Except it was turning and had stopped
And so we did not collide.

I took that as a sign,
And headed home.
