Daily struggle
The light is green and they don't move.
I stare at the clock, I've still got time.
The freeway is blocked, but the accident's on the other side???
I shift from first to second and onto third. But before I've got speed I'm shifting down again.
My leg is tired, I'm sure the clutch is too.
This may be the definition of madness. How I hate traffic in Los Angeles.
Thank goodness there is no rain, not even a drizzle. Because the trip time from here to there would be made triple.
Is this just a test? From God perhaps? To see if I have patience and grit.
Holy shit I've just shifted to 5th!
I'm moving now, in excitement my heart flutters fast.
Oh wait ... there goes another crash.
