MULTIPLE CHOICE
from the State of California Driver’s Examination,
2005 Driver [sic] Handbook:

You should not start across an intersection if you know

you will block the intersection when the light turns red:
1. under any circumstances

2. unless you entered the intersection on a yellow light

3. unless you entered the intersection on a green light





so you should not start if you know

you will block



any circumstances

or turn when entering



on the other hand blocking

may be its own objective:



the joy of obstruction

followed by confusion



say the intersection of the tongue

& lip



slick

tricky



enough to make you

rake your feathers back & forth



across

don’t even begin to cross it



if you know you will block

or be blocked



ask   but why ask?

or perhaps you enter the intersection



knowingly

& choose the risk
