The Commute

I hate the 91.
I’ve just hit the bumpy bit.
My truck bounces into the air.
They ought to patch up this pavement.

The exciting part is over.
Now a jarring jolt.
Traffic has ground to a halt.
Slow slide show of overpass and construction.

Greyish hills and craggy red mounds.
Found them fascinating at first.
But like Christmas once a day,
Initial interest soon faded.

Dull and colorless and same.
Backgrounds blur together.
Only pavement and lane lines matter.
