i almost
got hit by a car

me
absent minded
lost in my own
oh so happy
basking in a
chuckle smirk and giggle
a remembrance of a smile
from yesterday

and
silly me
i didn't look
bothways

right behind me
for quick instant
i could hear
an engine of sound and fury
trail off

the thing is
i didn't feel the
least bit rattled

i would have died laughing
