5am

Here I go again in the dark

past perky pups towing half-asleep masters 

Slaloming through dormant cars

and funneling into the slipstream 

of bleary-eyed drivers

still dreaming

 

a lane-swapping, brake-tapping, horn-honking hive mind, 

Click It Or Ticket

chugging coffee, checking texts

Arrive Alive

sharing a symbiotic will 

to survive

a chilling concept you mustn't wake to

you'll ruin it for everyone

 

peeling away from the fray

so long, drones

see you in 9 hours
