right at the start of my daily, routine, dreary sloughing thru after-work-hours traffic i noticed somethings;
a mushroom of black clouds, rising fast,
stalled traffic on the opposing lane,
lame oblivious faces turns to curious head-jerking, even exiting their stalled vehicles,
saw the roaring fire first, then felt the heat waves.
a passenger van, used as a school bus perhaps?
is on fire, from an explosion, combusting,
flames licking the gas leaking, spreading on the asphalt,
and as i pass, heard crackles and pops, bordering dangerously on another explosion.
big red firetruck, blocking my own lane,
made my way thru pulled-over crowd and eager-eyed drivers,
watching the firemen hopping and cursing the unrelenting fire,
i sped off as soon as i can. what's the use of holding up traffic?
ah. this ...bout of sickness i'm having. it's...sickening (excuse my pun) i had diarrhea, flu, cold, sleep disorder and bodily discomforts. it's been like this for about a week now. i remember in my younger days, whatever mild ailments would taper off right after i get a good night sleep, and wake up fully rested. this i gotta get used too, i guess.
