Caught in the traffic jam of life <br />Swearing at every red light <br />Risking my life to run through yellows <br />Rain blurs my vision and clouds judgment <br />The hard edge of the law <br />Claws at every snag in my <br />Over-sized ego, slowing my progress <br />I feel a shift in the winds <br />However small-insignificant like me- <br />Pushing my vehicle, until I shift <br />Into autopilot, like the rest. <br />Until I can see past the bright <br />lights laying pavement before me <br />I remain as blind as this Earth <br />Imprisoned by clouds and <br />Caught in traffic. <br /> <br />(June 2010)<br /><br />Rafe Chanteloup<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/traffic-15/
