To The Man I Just Flipped Off

            
            To the man I just flipped off. I saw you before you saw me. You were walking with your head down and not paying attention. So I waited to see if you'd step into the crosswalk without looking. You nearly did. But you stopped yourself short. That's when you noticed me waiting for you to make up your mind. The sight of me waiting for you agitated you in some way. You angrily waved me forward as if I was putting you out. You swung your arm hard as if to say hurry up and go dumb ass. 
            I decided, without much thought, to show you how I felt about that. So I drove by real slow to make sure you saw me holding up my middle finger. I held it high and strong and even shook it some for good measure. And you saw it alright. I saw your face drop with the sight of it. You had the look of, yeah, you got me. I deserved that.
