Its not all bad though. You never know which light will stay green long enough for you to pass through. You never know if you'll be able to achieve the Holy Grail of commutes, one in which you only put your foot down once when finally reaching your destination and just maybe, a fellow motorist will surprise you, or maybe you'll receive a nod from a non weary rider. The commute; its always different and never the same.
The 'Commute' - always different, but always the same. That most regular of journeys, to and from work, five days a week, forty eight weeks a year. Its always different, but always the same. You never know which junction the blind motorist will drive out of. You never know which motorist won't give you the space you need to feel safe. Its always a wonder to realise which pedestrian will step in to the road without looking or caring. The commute, its always different but always the same.
