Bumper to bumper traffic
imprisoning the body, freeing the mind.
Time not to be so tragic
but a moment to unwind.
People honking people cursing
as I enjoy my imagination.
A headache they'll be nursing
till they reach their destination.
Once in motion never pleased
overlooking life's pleasantries.
So I kindly pull to the side
Life in the slow lane...what a ride!
