Thoughts honking at me,
We're trapped in a traffic jam
Eager to reach home,
I let them pass me by on
The midnight road to nowhere...

car horns sound in the highway
announce frantic speed

Went to Wal-Mart to buy a Christmas ham
All I could find was a giant traffic jam
Near the toys__decorations
By my calculations
Come day after Christmas, dumpsters see cram...

raging wind 
with deafening sound--
dead telephone


mighty oaks
uprooted now--
traffic jam


a dancing crow
on a broken scarecrow--
celebration time

Traffic jam defines
divine and mundane.

Its peak hours mix
the sacred and profane.

And with awe we see 
as a miracle,

as beatific vision
and spectacle,

the faintest trace of 
a lone parking space!...

One of the theories I haven't quite grasped
Is quantum physics, it has a tendency to leave me aghast
Now I ain't stupid
Oops sorry, I just tooted
We all must let fly or have a traffic jam in the ass...

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

Packers--green, gold, white
Steelers--black, gold, white--colors 
just as close as scores

game ends--exhausted
bloated, eyes strained, throat hurt--sleep;
morning--traffic jam

sportscasters recap--
winners, losers, interviews;
at work now--bowl blues...

Chances Are Burning 
Exhaust pipes Excursion
Air pollution
Life so unfair luring
Honestly in touring
Traveling circumstance
Trafficking
No longer in a traffic jam
I'm just pause at a four-way stop

Trucks and buses roaring by
Road rage at an all-time high
Always watchful, never alert
For an occasional flirt
Forgetting where I am
In a puzzling traffic jam
Cursing, a thank you, ma’am!

Pick up an offer
You'll find a new adventure
A deduction of prices
A quick accumulating crowd
A long queue of patience
And a challenge of temper
A traffic jam
And a lost of precious time
An extra expenditure
And a new debt
And a risk to Covid-19
Really an underestimated offer...

They steam,
They glare,
They fume and frown,
My ideas snarl and knot.

They slouch, 
Resentful to be asked.

They stare and duel,
And pout.

Then suddenly - 
A random thing
Flies through the traffic jam,
A buzz of green cicada wings -
 
The tune splats guts
Across my screen.

Monkey Mind
Little mind got no time
My list is long got to skip
Skip my break no time to take
End of day no time to waste
Got to fix the breaks go to bed
Wake up early mind in jam
I forgot to set alarm
Rush out door no traffic jam
Might have time to have a break
Get to job it's Sunday my break...

Congestions
Occur in the brain
Pressures and tensions
Workloads and targets
Competitions and expectations
Time limits and deadlines
All contribute to 
A serious spiritual traffic jam
With
No by-pass
No overhead bridge
As life is not as simple
As a traffic jam on the road
We have to pay for every bit of prosperity...

like a flood gate 
reveal
tumbling turmoil 
conceal
for these thoughts 
these words
like a traffic jam
sit stranded 
awaiting a two for one deal
some what of a steal deal
a pallet of inspiration placed upon
the color wheel
of
purple
black
Yellow 
white 
and teal

a empty gas tank 
a muse to fill

Voice off the grid
Stuffy nose sore throat voice not submissive 
motion detectors going off
 submissive traffic jams
 no one's listening
 collusion so much
 confusion
 non bias 
everyone's in the riot
 no understanding
 beautiful set of five
 silicified
 bonafide
 no one else here to ride
I am caught in an emotional traffic jam

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 mum’s recipe
for dishes needing bite and crunch,
whilst dominating our car trips
my salivating yearn for chips....

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 news and music streams from radios.

At last the exit home—to eat, to sleep,
And rest....

A face worse than Traffic Jam!
Charles badly wants to melt Sam:
The Man to before Men slam
And him cause to board a tram…

Charles had been by choice A Clam
But he sure hits like A Bam!
And can hands down beat Sam;
With or without eating Yam
With not glucose his guts cram…

“One thing to tell you Champ Sam:
For me you slaughter a ram
Or I shall your river dam;
The World show you weigh less gram!”...

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 the ways
try again and again fun and fun

What is got that's the gain
from giving and taking game
if not not mine no worry and no pain....

It's like my life is set on cruise control
Push the button and watch it go
Trying my best to keep a steady flow
In this traffic pattern of do's and don'ts  

In my quest to stay ahead
A blur at times of who I am
Moving lane to lane then back again
Trying to avoid the latest traffic jam

By now I know my tank is low
Holding my breath in hope
Not sure how much further I can go
In this life set on cruise control...
