Desperate Times: a #quadrille #haibun

The commute begins. Cruising 65-70 miles-per-hour, I pass two exits. Then tail-lights appear. Stop-and-go traffic crawls. Pressure mounts.

Cruising speed across the bridge. Then a parkway, with more bumper-to-bumper traffic. Pressure reaches critical.

    Hah….I laughed out loud at the end of this one! ๐Ÿ™‚ BUT — oh yes…those commutes can be a killer and most especially when one’s bladder is sending spasmatic messages to one’s brain!
