too ugly to lay eyes on
too old to be noticed
invisible female Anglo
middle-aged, overweight
garbed in bright wool sweater
in the middle of the day
with green light right-of-way
on bike, barely escaped collision
with younger male Hispanic pick-up driver
likely undocumented, unemployed
maybe on drugs or drunk
he drove off with no care
no turn of his head
no blink of an eye
no feeling of regret
'got that bitch - almost'
