Perpetual Commuter Struggle

Stuck in a gargantuan feedback loop
Insentive truckers smash turtle shells
Squirrels sprawled with concrete entrails
Gleaming windshields refracting might
Dull relation just business is right

Scratching the ceiling of my nerve
Making blood curdle vengeance fertile
In shell shocked shin splints rampage

Remember to breathe as the poisons pass
As parasities arachnophobe their fist clenched dreams

Ill just stride and take my time
Pride is futile immortal hallucination
As the sun weaves her way
Ill make my escape and take my place
