see the light

today i came to an awareness
while sitting in bad traffic
and later driving in very smooth traffic

bad traffic gives me opportunity to see life
life of other people
life of a building
life of a business
life of my life too!
i have time to ponder
to replay
to recall
to make everyday resolution

bad traffic also gives me opportunity to see things
objects for photo
progress of a new building
cable-train running on fly way
size of presidential palace
decoration of a gate

and later i realized
that i could not check my text
in very smooth traffic
where i speed drive
in hi concentration
in the famous jakarta traffic
forget about replying
forget about pondering
forget about taking pictures
wait till the next traffic light
if we are lucky enough
to get red light
