Who dresses them up and puts them in cars
gives them their keys as they leave the bars
these drivers who sit at the red light and grin
preachers out practicing Sunday’s big sin.
Somehow they think we can’t see inside
as they dig in their noses and...

Traffic Jam
Sitting on the soft cushion seat
Start of turtle movement
The advert on the bus
Is the only catchy appeal
The drumming of the engine
The grunting of the taxi
Dusk getting crisp
Dull glow of the sun
The glance at the sky
With a wish to fly

The buttocks begin to get sore
I see...

Traffic Jam
The expanding stripe of cars stretches
Noxious fumes drawn inside by pink flesh
From this sight, looks as though the trees lost the battle
Heart still pumps energy to skeletal limbs moving
To unheard music
Grace filters through, highlighting the gift of discernment
I let the music enter me, and I...

I am sweating all over
In the traffic jam
And bored of waiting so long!...

Traffic Jam
The worm goes on
and on
and on

An endless stream of armoured segments
crawling out off the working day

The frozen flow of restless homonunculi
Disharmony of spheres

Traffic Jam
Another boring day I make my way 
down this life’s tricky busy long freeway 
So many travelers choose to go as well, 
in slaving sync to the cold life school bell 

We all so focused on the single prize, 
so much assets to gain and...

1950's Traffic Jam Revised
We had a car, not many did,
financed and fuelled by bread and jam,
food deprivation that I hid 
from jealous kids who’d mock the sham;
pride misjudging as a winner
Ford denoting "Forfeit dinner" 

So while, no doubt, they envied me
I lusted their hot Sunday lunch
as they inhaled...

Traffic Jam
Sitting here in rush hour I moan and sigh
Horn’s honk, engine’s rev, a Monday to miss
Birds whooshing overhead as time ticks by
When from below I hear a squealing hiss
The tire! Is murphy's law to blame for this?!

I hop out to check and PLOP! That damn...

it was insane

Traffic Jam
The sand from the hourglass is slipping through the cracks between my fingers. 
as I track my time in increments,
regulated, rhythmic, redundant.
the weekends coming, 
it’s almost winter break.
I think, as I fail to realize that I am watching time pass me by 
like I'm standing...

Right Into This Traffic Jam
I have issues with the sun
It burns
It burns so much these days
It burns it hurts my face
Yet I am going out now
Right into this traffic jam
Right when the sun is big and bright
Where is dawn? 

What a mess I am 
There is no such thing...

Traffic Jam Reverie
Getting impatient, I tapped my patient steering wheel
                             and drift into a daydream as I sit there

Traffic Jam
Traffic jam in the ways of life
crowded noisy groan hazardous
Oh ! mind breathing suffers from suffocation

Busy all are hurry no time
reach the destination by hook or by crook
to get the works done run and run
 
To avail few minutes for few days
to keep happy all...

A Winter Evening Commute
The winter darkness falls before the day
Has run its course, long ere the eyes of those
Who labor seek surcease from weariness.

The home-bound traffic winds its halting way
Beneath the moon-bound Evening Star and slows—
A mess.

And so I sit with promises to keep,
Ensnarled within a concrete wilderness
As...
