another india moment
as i was walking
down the road this morning
(which is more dangerous than mosquitos or food poisoning in india)
a dirty brown van raced up beside me
with its sliding back door wide open
the driver leaned out the window
towards me
and yelled
“shut the door please!”
and i did
and the driver sped away
as i stood
on the side of the road
smiling
wondering what the hell just happened
