Awareness

Two cars

at the intersection,

a green Jaguar ran

the light.

It hit the old Camry

with no problem.

The middle-age

soccer mom

without any kids

sat stunned.

A few streets over

a man walked back

to his car with

a red plastic

container full of

gas. Passing them

both was a young

girl, only 18,

cruising by in her

new Mercedes.

She saw neither.
