    Road Rage

    I remember commuting.
    My last job was 37 miles
    Each direction,
    Against traffic, one hour, easy.

    I remember being stuck
    45 minutes on the airport expressway
    Fuming, raging, thinking
    “I’d better see an ambulance”
    And hating myself for that thought.

    Someone changing a tire
    On the other side of the freeway
    Would cause a rubber-neck back-up.
    I would get to work
    Wild eyed and white knuckled

    Today, I lost ten minutes
    Getting home, stuck behind
    Two sprayers and a tractor
    Moving from field to field.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
