Shutter speed

Music is pulsing, the bass filling the whole of my ear drum
I sit in a moving box, watching other box lights flash, select drivers deciding to merge in unison with the other, going on with life not even knowing it.
My eyes are a camera, the shutter speed too long for a good picture to appear, but here, the bulbs blend into one stream of lava, coursing their way down the intersection.
Although I am apart of that red and yellow River, I imagine being somewhere else.
A spectator, watching minds who think in boxes that cruise down the pavement.
Thinking uniquely is something I imagine I do, but just as the cars, there are other bulbs flashing their way down the intersection in the early hours of this morning.

This poem describes my daily commute from home to school. Even the small moments in life can be special.
