Arrested Arrivals.

Straining at the leash

like a tethered bulldog -

snarling and hissing ,

the traffic growls -

its grumpy way

leaving behind 

clouds of  

acrid discontent :

Friendly faces 

and Welcome Spaces :

The Pain

Of Arrival
Puts a Premium

on Reaching Out .

And makes Virtue 

out of Virtual ..
