right by

i shouldn’t have looked
i thought then
at the woman slouching stiff-legged
under the overpass
purple hat cocked to the side
and up
points five fingers at me
like a gun
made of fingers
made of steel
bitch!
is the only word
i understand
there is

no bus stop
under the overpass, still
waiting’s not a crime.
