Boy at the Intersection

As I waited for red hand to white man

a boy

(6th grade?)

hopped off the bus, slammed his fist into the WALK button

and kept toddling the opposite direction.

Rude. He prolonged my stay.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

That kid with a hand in a Cheetos bag. What was with that kid?

Did he know he was causing unneeded ruckus?

A little "screw you" to "the man"?

Or did he just see a silver

button

and itch

to press it?
