    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 not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
