Watching a Squad Car Hydroplane on a Monday Afternoon

Simple Tendencies

            It’s raining out there, in the sodden hills of Georgia.

Men come and go in their tiny boxes,

           faster than the thoughts they think.

I wonder if the stories they tell themselves,

           As they curl up in a ball at night,

 like wolves do in their dens in the dead of winter,

Cry out the Thanatopsish graveyards, where, if they’re lucky, sleep will come.

    A puzzle that unravels line by line. Nicely done
