Analysis of A Haiku Story
When driving along
And a car from out of view
Screams in front of view
Do you (please choose one)
Slam on your brakes and stop short
Leaving those behind short
Or you honk your horn
Belligerantly and long
Making their heart jump
Or do you smash them
Because it was their fault and
You are in the right?
Please think about this
For the next time and before
The police arrive
