Crossing guard sonnet #3
When Meteoswiss promised a calm sun
But all you get is horisontal sleet
When you attempt to spring into a run
But realise you just waddle your feet
When unfit parents with unruly kids
Criss-cross the crossing without any care
swimming across like a school of small squids
Simply ignoring your crossing guard gear
When you are cold, wet and sick of this place
That’s when an Audi should angrily toot
The driver get out and into your face
And shout — crossing guard moron! Jerk! Swine! Brute!
That’s when you know you really care fuck all
And let the driver’s chin meet your knuckle
