labor trek

                       driving a work day like a weather’d mural be—
                       to and fro knowing every pothole
                       every utility pole streaking past eyes’ corners— 
                       subconscious steering every curve
                       braking every intersection—
                       ‘tis better only as a passenger
                       that marvels lost to attentiveness
                       can be cherish’d and gift’d to memory
