attempt

enjoy.

I'm far enough into the tunnel that
I can't see the entrance or the exit.

The lights cross over and behind
the windshield and the dash.

Low hum.
Yellow, then blue, then amber.

My hands are on the wheel
Adjust air.

My hands are not on the wheel.
Adjust.

There's a cadillac to the side
older man, mouth open, thinking

Passes. hits brake too often
things going too fast for him

Passes. gives in too often
life moving by too fast
Can't get any sleep

The lights cross over and behind
the windshield and the dash.
Can't get any sleep.

Halfway through.
If I can just apply the brakes
I won't crash into the wall
Adjust.

Okay, you got me, it's a Spenserian Wooket.
