Inch By Inch

Stuck in the sea of cars around
Driver's hopes dwindle down
Numerous tail lights flicker like fireflies
Signals blink red with tempers soaring high
Heavy fumes from engines choke the masses
Surrender to traffic like a drop in the urban current
Time crawls, burdened by the weight of boredom
Minutes stretch as highway turns into a chaotic spot
Trapped drivers are caught in space, still and slow
When car inches forward at snail's speed
Destination gets closer as relief spreads
