People in Cars #2
People seek moments
Safe, self-contained in their cars
Like a treed squirrel
Once a safe place
To hide out
Your miniature home
The middle of the pandemic
Now people in cars
Everywhere
Talking to a spouse
A girlfriend, a boyfriend
That kid down the block
Safe, when you got no place to go
When you can eat your lunch
Nobody’s bothering you
Isolated, separate
People in cars
Everywhere
How long you been sittin’ in that car?

I appreciate the mirrored nature of this poem. And that final line was perfect to end on.
