This Traffic Situation

Inching forth through the thick of rain
Mechanical beasts are in pain
And so am I, thanks to this pestilent traffic situation
That could not get any worse
than a film with a lousy conclusion.
I try to keep my serenity.
Or in the case of the person next to me, vanity.
Is it still the devil's favourite sin?
Or is it now idiocy's next of kin?
Lightning blinded my eyes.
And like a silver opportunity,
this traffic situation
that I name the 10th circle of hell,
has allowed me
to "speak my truth quietly"
but not "clearly."
