Disobedient
For the first time in the two years the median has been off limits, I got yelled at by a cop. He said
"Can't you read the sign?"
"Of course"
"So why did you sit there? Next time you'll get a ticket."
And I just couldn’t answer. Or rather, I couldn’t think of an answer that wouldn’t get me a ticket then and there. I just looked at him, in such a way that I hoped he just felt awful for yelling at someone for sitting on the median, the grassy median, at the cheeseboard on a gorgeous afternoon when there are meth dealers selling speed mixed with pop-rocks.
