INTERVIEW WITH A PEDESTRIAN AT A 4-WAY STOP.

Arrived the same time

I wave him “proceed”

he honks &

he honks &

he honks until

I trudge across

all the while he revs

before squealing through.

What were the dynamics?

He, the driver &

the honker—

I, the pedestrian &

the recipient—

the honkee.
