Commuting on Four Wheels

It starts with boredom, looking around

Wearing grooves in the pavement
as we make our daily travels
ants following the trails back and forth
the four taking just a microscopic bit of asphalt with them

The first few miles extremely slow,
the remainder nice and fast
both as monotonous

We're all in good company here
riding on two axles, four wheels

Same companions day by day
(have you ever noticed how odd
to actually see the same one twice in a row?)

I've seen that license plate somewhere,
those Michelins, those Yokohamas,
--even that quadruplet set of Kumhos
look familiar to me by now, hell, it's been three or four times this week

I told you, I get bored, and look around
