The heat had burned me.  If someone stood with a giant blow drier and fired it right at my

BLACK

HEAT ABSORBING

AUTO

it would be blessing.  Maybe someone would do this, to forgive me for being so stupid as to buy a BLACK! car when I knew I lived in one of the hottest places on earth.

If only the air conditioning worked! I strike at the keys in vain...nothing!  

 

I wait at his light, this light which glows red for all eternity.  This light which burns like the sun as it banishes all that is green, leaving brown fields with burnt patches in it's wake.  

The fields outside are parched.  They gasp for water longing to drink the sweat popping out of my body and turning to a super heated vapor as the sun continues to burn a hole in my brain.

And still the light is red!

"We have done it!"  I shout, "We have dumped our shit into the ecosphere, and nature is reacting.  She is turning up the heat to eliminate the infection.

'You up there ahead of me!

YES!   YOU!  You in your five mile to the gallon Ford Explorer!

You use ten tons of metal to move your fat butt all over town.  You burn oil like it will last forever, and now as I breath your fumes, you look at me and say....."

"What?"

"Oh.

" I guess your right.  I am sitting in a fume ridden car as well. Guess I share the blame.

"I suppose we are all destined to choke in our own fumes."
