Traffic was murder.  A lockdown
gathering of autos made more
of a challenge for drivers
stuck on the top ramp
of the Verrazano Bridge.
Jeez, what a day!  His watch
cuts into his wrist.  Pulls
it off.  Loosens his tie choking
the flesh around his neck.  Hunting
for a new job was crucial.
Commuting was becoming a danger
to his sky-rocketing blood
pressure, and general sanity.
This constant strife was
disrupting his life, leaving
no free time to enjoy it.  He
resolves to craft a new resume
for a position closer to home.
He cannot wait to get there,
change into sweats, and sip
a relaxing glass of good
Scotch.  Evening darkness falls
just to annoy him.  Inchworm
movement.  Hell, this traffic
is murder.
