Driving in the Rain

Torrents pouring down
While herds of cars with intermittent flashing yellow lights
Red brake lights
The sound of doom with each drop of rain in sync but asynchronous
Dark clouds with no silver lining
Splashing water from neighboring cars
Windshield wipers not negating the splashes
Ominous pools collecting on either side of the roads
Jam-packed highways
Only one way home
Stuck, tired, hungry, sleepy
Needing to stay alert enough to slam the break
Only every 10 seconds
Seems like forever...
