Traffic bracketed between
An accident
And construction
Inch by inch
Every few
Minutes
Move
As I
Cruze comfortably by
Traffic bracketed between
An accident
And construction
Inch by inch
Every few
Minutes
Move
As I
Cruze comfortably by
A slumbering basilisk
With every breath
Smoke stacks steadily journey
Their skyward ascend.
Lights embraced
Fade in and out of view
As branching tendrils
Canopy those who travel
Early morning traffic
Both sides of 75.
Lows illuminating the way
Guide until sunlight’s glare
Awakens the beast.
Startle him to move on
And clear the way;
Give an undisrupted view
For highway regulars
Rushing to guzzle precious gas—
Slowpokes driving 20 below;
Same as every day before.
