as trees fall in the wind

traffic,
backed up for miles,
the blue lights of state troopers
ahead,
waving with
flares,
bundled in the wind,
out of their
cars.
a tree has fallen onto the road.
an old oak?
not too exciting,
and yet
the mice are anxious,
creeping over
and over,
leaning on their horns,
in a hurry to get back
home.
