indistinct rectangles
occasional flashing red lights
the semis whip up
a constant accumulation of
the persnickety percipitation
and i drive white knuckled
riding the edge of panic
in a tsunami threatening to
wash me off the highway
into the muddy creek roaring
between the lanes from an
oversaturation of wintry rain
in an abundance of gray
laying across arkansas the same
as depression blankets a fool
