Seeking in the distance
an opening ...
crowded by cagers
eating donuts
putting on makeup
talking on their cell phones
one hand on the steering wheel
the other searching
for that dropped cigarette.
Smoldering hot coffee spilled
swerving to avoid
potholes filled with blood.
Windows up
Air-Conditioner on
Music so loud
drowns out the sound
of my pipes
searching for a gap.
Eighteen wheels coming up
fast on my left ...
Twist the wick
Top gear
Right behind
gas guzzling SUV
Soccer mom screaming
at kids throwing
fit to-be-tied tantrum
in back seat
of oblivion
