Navigating the streets with Maria got me thinking
There’s laws in place that prohibit you from drinking
While on the road, driving to and fro, fast or slow
We often turn left or right in a fit of rage or take it with ease
As if to feel a soft breeze. Either way I am not a predictor
Of such movements that should have a simple indicator
Accompaniment...I’m referring of course to the blinker.
Let me explain to you what this is because many drivers
Seem to have forgotten some of the fundamentals.
It’s simple, really. By your wheel there is typically a small arm
On the side which moves up or down. Once moved, it
Creates a repetitive sound. One I beatbox to so as to not become
Frustrated with it’s persistency. It’s a reminder of the urgency of
Such an action and the emergency one could cause if they refuse
To use this necessary tool. To say it takes too much effort is foolish.
You, yes you, driver in front of me...I beg and plead of you to stop with
The whiplash and heart attack inducing stops and maneuvers with
Not a single note to signal me of said action. It’s infuriating to say the least.
Dangerous most of all and plain stupid to refuse. Please, oh Please, use your
Blinker. Do it for the good of society and acknowledgement that you’re not
The only one on the road. We’re all trying to get from A to B safely.
I’ve gotten so upset with this carelessness, but still, I’ll ask politely.
Use your blinker.
