commute
four of us
the morning ritual
sitting together
so very far apart
windshield muddied and opaque
swish, swish
swish, swish
again
no chatter
no banter
music squeezing out from radio 2
"tempted by the fruit of another"
silence
silence
silence
plastic plate on my lap
a rushed breakfast
again
crumbs ignored
my mind is occupied
searching through a side window
for something
anything
a groundhog laughs at me
from the side of the road
I will do it all again
