Shouty

As I walk out into the street
somebody's shouting at me
shouting in my face 
  with his teeth near my face.
He asks me if I'm scared of him 
I say no
he says I should be. He shouts I should be. 
  I say I'm harmless.
He shouts some more and then 
  someone else shouts over at him 
    -- someone somewhere -- I don't know -- across the street
  not at me this time more like for me.
And it sort of pulls me out pulls me into my car.
  And I don't lock the door cuz I don't lock the door
  and now I'm speeding away 
                        curving away
                           sliding out into 
                   the shouty night
           and I'm twisting back 
      over my tight right shoulder thinking:
  if I have to 
  if I have to
       if I really really have to
I can always run him over.
