✿ drive to work ✿

“…That’s the way everyday goes
Every time we’ve no control
If the sky is pink and white
If the ground is black and yellow…” [1]

yelling through the speaker, I thought
How I dislike being stuck in traffic
Hundreds of cars in front of me and behind me,
journeying to their beloved destinations?

A car sweeps beside me.

Where are we headed, What is the rush?
What if all the cars stop working all at once?

How I wished my car could just grow a pair of wings, rise above the traffic and fly.

My mind saying, ” जति भएनि हुदैन “

Rummaging through the crap in my head, I caught a glimpse of her through the rear view mirror

Joyfully nodding her head, waving her hands, and lip syncing, maybe to her favorite song?

Her perfectly manicured nails with soft pink tint, elegantly rested on the steering wheel, simultaneously captured my eyes.

My nails I thought,
Damn!, my dry and bloody cuticles, desperately begging me to leave them alone.

! ! Honk 📣! !
