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?
