Rush Hour Kayak by Dave McCaul
Driving to work, I am a mole blind to the world around me
Cocooned inside my car, locked in traffic
white knuckles on the steering wheel, eyes on the clock Initially, I do not see the kayaker he is a phantom in the dim light But then, our paths intersect for a moment me on the bridge, car engine idling him on the river, oar cutting the dark waters I want to trade places with him
feel the droplets of water on my face like a cool baptism
The rhythm of my paddling
tuned to the vigorous thrumming of my heart Eyes on the far shore, the yawning horizon clocked by the position of the sun My car, though warm, is like a prison Oh, to shiver in the wind!
