I'm driving my car down a road. A road, I've driven so many times in the past But today I'm seeing an aspect That I've never noticed. As the sun is flickering through the trees As I pass by, the seconds ticking, Houses, people and things. I'm daydreaming thinking that my car is like life Traveling through time. I see everything passing me by. I could put on my turn signal and pull over. I could just sit in the moment and ponder. But, then all those cars behind me Would pass by me into the future. Leaving me here on the side of the road In stasis, in the past. When human beings don't have stuff to face us We become limited and half @ss. The thing about human beings, we're not wired for pause, We're driven to drive, to keep going forward. It's not in our nature to linger for long. And, although no matter what we do, Time moves on waiting for no one. Occasionally there are a few of us That may sit upon our hands. But what I would tell the aliens Is that we are more likely to quickly, Drive directly into the eye of the storm.\n\nNancy Trembley
