THE TRAFFIC (Poem #135)
Cars, trucks, busses, trailers and such
all heading down the highway.
Why does so much traffic always have
to be going my way?
Highways, bridges, tunnels and turnoffs
which way should I go?
Sometimes I'm lost, getting exhausted
or the traffic just goes so slow.
Tuning and twisting, a better route
I'm always looking to find.
But maybe an airplane is the only
way to keep from being behind.
