Sheep Carriage

Night sky: lifeless, dull, chalky gray 

Apathetic expressions face one way 

Eyelids heavy, long day 

Foggy windows, potholed roads 

Warm breaths exhaled, the seats are cold 

Zombied stares at blinding screens 

Infinite autopilot, we're all machines

Hi Ellie, I completely agree that is what traffic does to people. It zombifies us. Cleverly contrived once again.

Well, Ellie...beautifully written...I retired last yr. at age 60...had to eject from the mouse wheel...just in time to regain sanity (some would challenge that assertion!) life is magical!
