The situation is serious
I apologize for the delay, we’ve just received word
Please be discrete
The judgment is forthcoming
Has the jury reached a verdict?
“Yes, yes we have, your honor.”
Good. Too good.
Three of us are seated hip-to-hip in the back seat
in bumper-to-bumper traffic
in August
in the dog days of summer
Rush hour in Los Angeles
Rush hour in New York
Rush hour in Any-God-Damned-Town
Rush hour in Africa
Bumper-to-bumper
The temperature is 101 degrees
The situation has escalated
I’ve broken a sweat
It’s beautiful, and I’m delirious
The radio crackles
The verdict is read
The situation is serious
