car vermin

the sidewalk was invented
by ambrose walkside
or so i learn from the chatbot
to protect cars from
jaywalking serfs.
mounting the pavement
a man driving an suv
in an act of derangement
on his third attempt to kill me
i got away,
with his licence plate
can i be arsed to go to court?
probably not
he must have been having a hard life
no doubt he will kill me
another day
then someone else
almost reverses into me twice
but i’m sure it is not
me that is the problem

i moved in with my girlfriend on the first. we had a flatmate overlap situation for the first four weeks, so the place has been massively over-furnished and lacking in storage. boxes everywhere. quite stressful.

i really did strongly consider going to the police about this guy. a witness reached out to me. but to utilise the violence of the criminal justice system against someone for revenge doesn’t sit well with me. i realise there is a public safety issue as well. i’m hoping the guy was just having a bad day.
