 I moved the car

Sitting in the old Hyundai in a Wednesday spot
Waiting for the street sweeper on a Tuesday
It had been raining and the street was wet  
the sun was shining through giant clouds
at my head where I sat waiting for the dull roar of the coming street sweeping vehicle
Old Chinese ladies sat in shiny SUV's waiting too
One blocked the street and a guy couldn't get by
She didn't care
She had to get her spot
