My Poker Face

My society is changing quite a lot. The thing I noticed is people are more angry when they don't have their way. They want everything to go their way and when it doesn't they have some kind of visible outburst. 
Not long ago I saw a car speeding out into a single lane road where it squared off with a bus, either the car had to reverse or the Bus. The Bus was there first and was full of people but the man shouted several times for the bus to go backwards, the bus driver refused so the car driver started kicking the bus. These sort of angry selfish outbursts are becoming more and more common in my community.
When I'm driving into a car park, I slow right down to almost walking speed, I often see a car approaching my car from behind at over 30 miles per hour. But my car is in their way so they have to slow down, then as soon as they can turn off they speed up again and they go the long way around the car park and make sure they park near me so they can see who I am or tell me I'm driving so slow. They want to see if they can confront me. 
All they see is my poker face. I breathe in deeply and hide all my emotions, no anger, no laughter, nothing. Sometimes I don't even think about it. I just think about my own little happy thoughts and my own little world. 

It's not just on the road, everywhere people are being selfish and angry, they can't control themselves anymore. I'm not a talented man, my gift is my patience and self control.
