Or maybe, 'How I Started My Day With a Bang'. This is a busy intersection. You press the button on the pole, and the little red hand is replaced with the walk sign, and you head on through the crosswalk. At least that's the plan, and pretty much what I was thinkin just before the car hit me this a.m. The light changed and I looked right and left. All ok. I was about 5 ft. into the street when I perceived movement on my left, but too late. The bumper connected with my left knee and I tried to perform a jump, tuck and roll maneuver, which I pulled off pretty well. Course, the impact helped a lot with that. The driver stopped and was pretty much freakin out. I took inventory and realized I wasn't hurt at all, and made him help me up. He hadn't scraped all the frost of his windshield and was late for school. I haven't really seen anybody that shook up in a long time and had to grab him and calm him down. After all, I was the one lyin in the street. Then I started laughin at him, which really concerned him. But I really did see it as a pretty good joke life played on me and told him that of all the things and people that had done their best to kill me in my days, a clean cut all-American lookin high school kid in a little car comes closest to gettin the job done. Doesn't even have a boom box in the car. So, scrape all the frost off the windows before you ever move that vehicle. Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Don't pick me to run over, cause I will laugh in your face and scare you to death, which is much worse than dealin with the cops. For me, I don't belong in towns, and maybe I need to start wearin a helmet.
