Sailing Through Traffic | The Bard on the Hill

—

I’m caught in traffic – five o’clock,
…And everything is slowed.
The cheetahs now are turtles and
…The snails are nailed to the road.

I’m stuck behind the steering wheel
…And traffic’s like a clock –
It moves by sound: tick tick tick tick
…So slow to go just a block.

I’m sure there’re those who fume and curse
…To burn gas sitting still,
And long for home, an easy chair,
…And view, like mine, on a hill.

But there’s a way to rise above
…This glacier moving slow,
And some are very good at it –
…It’s what we all need to know.

It is a way to win the wait
…In each and ev’ry que –
Just find a something that you love –
…A ship to sail you on through.

Just study people; say a prayer
…Play games with all the signs.
There are a million things – and me?
…I sailed – I wrote all these lines.
