As i stood snarled in traffic
caused by the hope of holiday cheer,
i spied amid the tall grass
of the median dividing the highway
traveling east and west
two deer laying down
to take a mid-morning rest
and i thought,
"Would that were i,
then i would have no reason to cry
for i could hide in plain sight
as civilization passed me by"
An almost infinite sadness
took me at first
as wished for what i could not have
Then i realized the error in my thinking
and gave a tired sigh
and a bitter laugh,
for no matter how hard you try
to make things better
or even just get by
sometimes that is all you have...
