Driving

It’s cold and rainy. Or a little warmer and rainy. Today it’s cold and rainy. Yesterday it was a little warmer and rainy. It was dark, I was commuting. It was dark in the morning, it was dark in the evening driving home. Hey if I had a guitar and a black hat I could turn this into a blues song. It was dark and rainy and the traffic it was bad. Sugar beets, you know, potatoes, tractors. Anyway the traffic came to an abrupt stop. I finally noticed and came to an even more abrupt stop. The guy driving the gigantic SUV on my fucking rear bumper didn’t notice until way too late. Eventually he slammed on his brakes and swerved into the oncoming lane (luckily there was no oncoming traffic, since it was all stuck behind a different tractor going the other way) and finally came to a stop about even with me. I wanted to jump out and give him a hug.
