Accident


I caused an accident.

I think people in New Jersey can’t drive.  Maybe they can’t drive anywhere else other than Manhattan.  I have years of experience driving a bicycle and a skateboard in Manhattan.  Whenever I do these things outside of Manhattan, the drivers around me act like idiots.  They honk.  My motto has always been, “Don’t honk -- drive.”  That round thing that you’re using to honk with, turn it.  

So one day I’m riding home from Subway.  I’m hungry.  I want to eat my sandwich.  I’m shooting the wrong way down a hill.  A car is coming my way.  There ‘s no way I’m stopping.  I move to the right as far as I can go.  Plenty of room for the car to pass.  I see he turns to the left or his right.  Okay.  Everything should be fine.  We pass each other.  Crunch.  He rakes the cars on the right.  I look back and laugh.  

Stupid.
