observations from the passenger seat

I am writing this from the passenger seat of a car

While traveling on the eastern shore of Maryland

So many people drive way too close to the car in front, especially in the rain

Modern cars must not have turn signals fitted

I suppose you have to guess when other drivers are planning to turn or change lanes

Does a red traffic light mean stop your vehicle and pick your nose?

So sad to see trash at the side of every road

Do all those beer cans mean people drink and drive?

Most male drivers on the eastern shore are in a pickup truck

Royal Farm gas stations are taking over the world

Windshield wipers are hypnotic

Uncut grass looks untidy and neglected

I wonder if anybody ever uses those mile markers

Truck drivers give the appearance of being incredibly bored

Most big cars have a single occupant

I have seen at least 12 people driving while holding a phone to their ear

Many abandoned houses have trees growing through them

Did the last occupants plant them before leaving?

This land is so flat, it must be depressing for mountain bikers

Who wakes up one day thinking I am starting a pet cemetery?

Young woman driving with Vietnam Veteran sticker on the back window

Orange colored cars look stupid

Advertising boards are massive

They seem to grow in clumps

Cell towers look menacing

Are we being bombarded by electromagnetic waves?

Farm stand produce looks so inviting

Especially the unmanned ones with an honesty box

So many acres of corn growing

Where does it all end up?

I want to eat corn now

Why do farmers irrigate fields when it’s raining?

We stop next to a car at a traffic light

The man is driving and a woman is in the passenger seat

They are not talking and look bored

A For Sale sign on the passenger window 

“Great Condition, Hardly used”

Is he selling the car or his wife?
