crosstown traffic

Post by saw » May 16th, 2018, 11:08 am

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
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Same earth, but so many different eyes and drivers.

arrivals, departures,
passengers, cargo,
... destinations
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
