the working life

it is the glazed
eyes
of travelers off to work
that i
observe
from my car window, in
no particular
hurry to get where i
need to go.
it's mostly youth
and those
caught in the middle,
filling up
the road.
i see a young woman,
dressed
for business
purposes beside me,
applying makeup
in her rear-view mirror
and can't help
but to think,
she has thirty more years
of this
to go.
