The Commute
Afternoon delight ... not
Poems stirred
into paper coffee cups, eaten
with petals on rye in the
sun—the cold shadows in
back,
and the traffic grinding the
borders of spring ...
Denise Levertov—“A Common Ground.”
Yet another day
Traffic moving place to place
Rush to get ahead

I-64 is screwed up to the tune of a five-mile waltz of stop-go-stop bewteen Ivy and the Stockton Creek bridge. One lane is closed on the bridge at milepost 108 to allow repairs to the deck. Best bet is to take U.S. 250 and expect delays there, as well. Or just stop and grab a latte, a brownie and a hardcopy of The Daily Progress.
Construction
