crosstown traffic

we look,
you and I....
at the same sky
you see impending doom
in the battleship-grey clouds
distorting above our heads
I see rain
for my thirsty garden,
and I wish it were
different....I wish
I had some affect
on your eyesight
because I care
about you...but I am just
another bozo in an Uber
making his way
through the crosstown traffic
Jimi in my ears
charting my course
hoping
to avoid an accident
from the backseat,
a stranger's hands on the wheel
looking for nothing more
than a good ride
you and I....
