Haikus for a January Commute

The rain was falling, and traffic was crawling. What else is there to do on a bus than write haikus?

Some explanations for the first haiku. STEMI stands for S-T elevation myocardial infarction, a form of heart attack. ED stands for the emergency department. I work with heart surgeons.
Code STEMI, ED
It means just one thing to me –
Job security.

This one is based on a guy I saw one day. He was texting with both hands while pedaling his bike.
Texting bicyclist
Becomes a hood ornament
On an SUV.

In an earlier post, I described I-405 as western Washington’s longest parking lot.
Drive on 405?
It’s such an oxymoron.
More like park on it.

Small spiral notebook
Weighs much less than my laptop
And won’t be stolen.

Big construction cranes
Dominate the skyline here.
Progress? Maybe not.
