On a Tuesday
at 4:37 A.M.,
on NJSH Route 31 South,
the Toyota Camrys
and the Honda Odysseys
keep polite company
with the pick-up trucks,
saying,
“How are you this morning,”
and, “Isn’t it remarkable how,”
and, “Yes, one must consider.”
And the bakery truck passes,
and asks,
“Oh, excuse me–
are you just getting up?”
