Frustration is a winter drive
in the twilight
when a 16 wheel mobile snowstorm
slows everything to a crawl
and you peep
to spy the solid core of the blizzard
which you can glimpse only
on long winding corners
when it’s not right in front of you
in spite of it bearing enough
lights to guide aircraft
to a safe landing.
