Sunday Morning Driving

Driving on a Sunday morning by yourself puts your loneliness on display, especially when you're stuck in traffic. Your loneliness is on available for everyone to see as they pass by. You, yourself, and maybe your car radio is all you have at this very moment and it all the strangers know of you to have.

Whether you're lonely or not, you just look lonely. The strangers know nothing else about you except that when it is probably the easiest time of the week to have someone accompany you to wherever you're going, you're alone.

I had this moment today as I was stuck in traffic and driving home from the beach in a severe thunderstorm.
