Roundabout (EL1)

How do you keep your smile
when all you do is go around
and around, and then around
again, from the crack of dawn
to the end of the day?

Perhaps it is leisurely;
no more than a dream,
with your fingertips drifting
from steering wheel to indicator,
then back again.

But no, not me–I couldn’t imagine
the monotony–the same roads,
trees, faces, over and over,
day on day; surely, months
must turn all into a muddy blur.
