Rush Hour

Captcha Contest

Rivulets of rainbows and cotton tails mixed

Against cooling high-rise window

In the winter rush hour.

Poor b******s.

The working masses

Middle classes hurrying from city center--

Mushrooms and sardines.

Mushrooms and Sardines.

I love the piece and the picture accompanying it is perfect.

How sad when we are so busy going about the business of getting from point A to point B that we disconnect from the rest of humanity who are trying to do the exact same thing.

Well penned!

I live in a small town, but often have to drive in Houston rush hour(s) traffic (no drive through Houston in peak traffic takes just one hour) and when I do, I try to think kind thoughts, but I really wonder how people can sit in traffic for and hour and a half to drive 15 miles or less. It truly boggles my brain. Packed mass transit feels even worse to me.

I really hate city transit where you stand elbow too elbow with humanity or sit closer to a stranger than you do to your spouse all for the sake of a ride at rush hour. Definitely fairy toad stools with the bright umbrellas, and Mr Type A executive stares from his upper window.
