Long Road rage Poems

It had been a hellish week.

On Monday
my lonely and tired AfricanAmerican husband
told me, as gently as possible,
that what I had hoped was a temporary separation
is to be extended into perpetuity.

This separation had been scheduled to...

Who am I? I am me, and me is having a little me time
No way!  Five days plus a weekend. 7 days, that’s mine.
It’s not fair. It’s a sin. It’s crazy. No, really honey,...

My people love marching!
Attending rain dancing parades,
doing a bunch of fire-breathing talking
Little drummer boys and girls
playing foot soldier pretend grown up
Just defending the truth,
those marionette walkers will yell at you
in designer protest fashion
Motion activate the...

As Joe was biking down the side of the road
He ran across a chap with a dearth of driving skills.  
Or more accurately, the driver almost ran over Joe; 
'Twas one of life’s unwanted...

As of now, I got no mate
Working toward my own place
Another tragedy
Another casualty
Becoming a cold case
Zero evidence they could locate
Something sentimental
Something special
Stashed in a gold vase
People continuing to show hate
As a nation
A lot of saturation
Too...

I behold the rose in bloom, and I cry,
I weep and I wail, then I sigh.
As the night draws in, my painful thoughts begin to wake, 
I retreat into my mind and with fear I...

I remember 
Your anger 

The way your neck muscles 
Stood out 
As you cursed my name 

You showed up 
Uninvited 
with your pants 
Lower than your hips 
Yet 
You somehow paced with self assurance 

You...

Awake before the alarm clock started ringing
Lying abed as song birds serenade me, singing
Listening to chirping lyrics, I linger with a smile
Then get ready for work; my weekday lifestyle

A daily ordeal of honking horns and...

I board my little metal box early in the dawn,
Adjust my seat, fix my mirror, turn the stereo on,
I love the drive, I live for the day,
And I am generally  accepting,
Of all those little...

storm, weight of rain sloshes
o’er the sides of the acrylic tub
thunder of strobe, eyes blinking
slashes of screams, disaster —
utterance of lips, gutteral
door jammed, eye to eye contact
with the lion and lamb; the owl
on heights of...

Warning: If you are bothered by road rage,
of if you have ever been a victim of road rage,
or if you and I are giving each other the finger
right now on Highway ZZZ, this poem may...

He sidles up next to you,
so stealthily
It’s like he appeared out of thin air
Then breathlessly,
he gives you a Jimmy Stewart howdy do,
and starts air guitaring in his chair
Just when you were on the verge of
hitting...

Some drivers really make me want to scream.
I’ll do some little thing that they don’t like.
They honk or give the finger. It’s so mean.
I’d like to yell at them to take a hike.

Of course I...

Imagine misunderstandings,
When we talk about our friends,
If we did that talking to their FACE,
We'd be apt to make amends ...

Imagine, if hearing gossip,
We repeated not a peep,
Instead of giving it longer legs,
We'd put that tale...

Thick cloudy sky filled with tears__woe
Crying at the swiftly passing era
No more old generation__new day

A time all its own with difference
Whole set of problems separates it
From times that have gone...

I am happy to be a retiree in Winter,
It couldn't have worked out better,
With need to feel bitter,
When it starts to get colder.

I can go to bed before the heat goes out of the Sun
And...

It takes two to tango, 
as they say. 
It also takes two 
to road rage. 
It sure is fun watching 
two insane, 
out-of-control knuckleheads 
zigzag aggressively 
on the highway
with their driver windows down;
honking their car...

My Modern Age Reality

The daily commute a daily grind
Bumper to bumper you will find
Asking “are you out of your mind”
Hoping to spot someone that is kind

Road rage is now the new adage
To get where you’re...

Sadness

turns into madness 
people explode in 
Movie Theaters;
People explode on roads; 
People have road rage 
on this road called life."
Say it soft shhh hush

In churches, where 
black-folk congregate.
Under the protection of...

Airplanes are falling out of the sky,
diseases are giving us new ways to die
Mothers hold your babies close, closer to you,
just never know when death might come strolling by

Systemic oppression causes cultural upheaval,
smiling faces make...

Each day as I drive on the roads of my town
I wonder what the hell is going down?
 
They’re here, they’re there, they’re everywhere
Bad drivers make me want to pull out my hair!

A fierce fury from within
Forcing you into the domain of sin
To which there is no rhyme or reason
As against God you continually commit treason

You set every other emotion aside
It's like your spiritual side has given...

Journey to Tranquility

As I nestle into the seat of my
Far from new mode of transport
I steel myself for the journey ahead
In my mind I plan out the route for this day

I'm sure bumper to bumper...
