• yesterday i almost got ran over

  by a woman who decided not to slow down at a red light and screeched to
  stopped within a few inches of me as my flight or fight response took
  over and i somehow jumped and ran backwards back onto the
  sidewalk.  i don't remember thinking about moving, actually i
  remember anticipating the car ramming into my leg.  i guess my
  habit of inching out into the crosswalk, regardless of the pedestrian
  signal that's telling me "yes, it's okay," has been justified.
