Siri, Play Music
Playing all songs; Shuffled: plays …
Mozart to Motown!
A range and amount of music unimaginably available at the sound of my voice. Kings, Emperors, Princes of Industry never had such music at their beck and call.
Here in my hand, (I shouldn’t say that as it’s illegal to hold your device and drive in Georgia), in my car, I think of how many cassette tapes it would take to equal what I have on this stupid thing.
Spaghetti Junction
Even the dark path to Hell,
Has a lane here
Tom Moreland Interchange, colloquially known as Spaghetti Junction, is the intersection of Interstate 85 and Interstate 285, along with several access roads, in northern DeKalb County, Georgia, just northeast of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It is named for Tom Moreland, a former commissioner of the Georgia Department of Transportation from 1975 to 1987.
I-85 is a major traffic corridor from the northeastern suburbs of Atlanta in the Gwinnett County area into downtown Atlanta. I-285 is a beltway around Atlanta. In the northern I-285 corridor, in the area from I-85 counterclockwise to I-75, there has been a large amount of development of office space. Spaghetti Junction was designed to remove choke points and reduce congestion in the I-85 and I-285 interchange, which had been a cloverleaf. from Wikipedia

40 minutes, then I drive …
on I85
Saw blue flashing lights
Reflected, did not see crash …
Was it really there?
This haiku was inspired by the phenomena experienced by drivers on i85 (and maybe other freeways) where the flashing blue strobe lights, Georgia cops have the brightest cobalt blue anywhere, are reflected off of cars, the sides of trucks, freeway signs and wet pavement. Due the amount of traffic and the multiple lanes, you never actually see the cop car, crash or other emergency vehicles. If the tree falls in an empty forest … if you never see the crash ….
