Go with the Flow of Traffic
I’m driving
on a four lane street
and the two lanes
going in my direction
have two trucks going the same speed.
Option A
Swerve into oncoming traffic to pass them.
Option B
Calm myself down and go with the flow of traffic
All I want to do is get home really fast,
but I can’t drive any faster
because these two Nimrods
are blocking my way.
Patience is not my strong point.
I look at both
of the trucks’ red taillights
and I understand that option B is my only choice.
I let off the gas.
Sometimes it’s a red light
or an accident,
but no matter when I’m in a rush
there will always be something slowing me down.
I have to stop looking at them as a hindrance
and see them as a time to calm down
and go with the flow of the traffic.
