Here I go again in the dark
past perky pups towing half-asleep masters
Slaloming through dormant cars
and funneling into the slipstream
of bleary-eyed drivers
still dreaming
a lane-swapping, brake-tapping, horn-honking hive mind,
Click It Or Ticket
chugging coffee, checking texts
Arrive Alive
sharing a symbiotic will
to survive
a chilling concept you mustn't wake to
you'll ruin it for everyone
peeling away from the fray
so long, drones
see you in 9 hours
