morning traffic

expect delays

expect to be fifteen minutes late

understand the psychology of procrastination

ignore it anyway.

we are prone to lying

we are prone to nocturnal nights of

fear

fear every word that might be said

behind doors.

expect to be judged not just as one,

but for the collective.

Is the collective all those honking horns

gulping double yellow lines and dollars

at 5 miles an hour?

Is it the tangle of mouths

fingers hearts moans doubts

sleeping on the floor?
