I almost got killed on the road today

I'll admit I feel a little traumatized
no, not traumatized, confused
the same way I was
when told the I couldn't play a good guy
in a game of good 'ole boys
versus anything else

This time I didn't freeze in horror
as the rocks came flying
running sharply
off the edge of the dirt road
The arab spit out his window at me
a gesture both, futile and forceful

I don't understand yet
but unfortunately I probably will
