commute

when I drive my car each morning

to work, then back home each evening

I sometimes pass pedestrians or
commuters waiting for the bus 

I sometimes wonder if I should have

been one of those commuters 
exercising my legs each day and 

letting someone else take the wheel

but this suburban landscape does not

make public transport all that convenient 
so I'll have to stick to my daily car ride

earning money for gas, insurance and repairs
