and she hit me, it felt like a kiss

I got hit on my bike riding to work for the first time this morning. Nothing too bad, just some scrapes, but still kinda crazy just in that I got knocked off and was lying in the middle of the street for a moment there. Not my fault, a girl making a right turn on a red hit me in the cross-walk. Before impact I yelled for her attention, but she just kept going and I couldn’t get out of the way quick enough. Truthfully, I am usually quite good at avoiding accidents from ‘bike invisibility syndrome,’ but I was dodging a guy who seemed keen on turning into me from the left before she flanked on the right. A brilliant strategical maneuver. Don’t worry, I’m fine (she seemed more emotionally rattled than I was physically). I wear a helmet. The bike is fine too.
