Stoic commuters
released from the grind,
Garden state destined
through eternal Route 9,
surrounded in sirens
amid oceans of fumes,
heads buried in headlines
missing dandelion blooms,
in the 9 - 5 flouresense
complacency may come,
if you keep your head buried,
to the gifts you may numb,
let the busride bring magic,
as you look to the sky,
celestial paintings,
on the blackboard up high,
the commuter in the Yanks cap
sees my face in the smiles,
of summer night sunflowers,
homeward bound thru these miles

Oh how I hated to be a commuter...the boredom...the mundane existence. Nothing exciting about it at all. But this was a good try and a nice read..... A pleasant change.

I've driven a taxi up Route 9 a few times...you really caught the feeling of the thing, and the only escape a poor commuter has, at least on the lower 20 miles of it.....

Thaaannnks for the memoryyyy.....

let the busride bring magic,

I often let it bring catnaps... which have a magic of their own. *S*

I enjoyed this very much! *S*

Have a smiley face day. Your pic says it all, but so do your words. A delight to read.
