Rear View Mirror

A poem from 2018


The daily commute
Gridlocked bumper to bumper
Bored with the radio, frustrated


He glances in the rear view mirror
The beautiful face in the car behind
Captures him, and he loses interest in the road


This slog of foot play on the clutch, brake, accelerator
Now made bearable by the pretty sight
He wishes and sighs until he turns off

And drives home to his wife and kids
