Traffic

background music plays
according to the closed captioning
could it be called a song?
if it's only a whir?

sometimes the notes are legible
when someone hits the gas hard
or perhaps a shout of recognition
(or surprise)
when the street-side
becomes a notion

walking, it's saturday morning
the dogs have nowhere to be

two lights
a windshield
the herd moves on
pastures promised down the road
