A Picnic, Surely

Contemplation No. 6, Nov. 23, 2011

I've been watching the cars and 
I've figured out the pattern. 
•
Every car that drives up the street 
Needs a car to drive down the street. 
It's a fair exchange.

•
Sometimes it happens at the same time
The cars trade brief glances and 
Continue on their way. 
•
But sometimes it takes a while. 
Sometimes a car will drive up the street 
With no sign of the other car. 
•
But sure enough 
If one has the patience to wait for it 
That other car will come 
Driving down the street.
