ice cream

On the way back home
On the traffic light at Gunung Rapat
A middle 20s Malay woman
Licking her ice-cream while waiting
The traffic light turned green

She enjoyed her ice-cream
Chocolate with vanilla flavour
Licking it off forgetting the traffic
After work she couldn't wait

The poor ice-cream melted
Dripping on her blouse yet she kept going
When the traffic light turned green
She held it on one hand on her steering wheel
Licking her ice-cream as she drove along

She forgot about traffic rules
She could cause danger
to herself and others on the road
Yet she was hooked to her ice-cream
Driving along the road
As the traffic went along with her
