choice

In the car, snail's pace
car accident up ahead
watching the minutes on the clock
late for school
missed my volunteering

Slowly, I start bubbling over
like a pasta pot filled to the brim.
You know what a mess that is
to clean up.

It was out of my sphere of control
yet I changed the energy in the car.
from content and cooperative
to snappy and upset and stressful.

It all comes down to a choice.
