The Sound of Business

They were driving south on the highway
Their business was in another town
Bigger than the town they were driving from
Business took place during office hours in both towns
This drive was considered business
The feeling of passing other cars
Was also considered business
A feeling of business being done
The feeling of drifting slowly
Through a field of moving vehicles
This was the real speed, speed of business
Not the numbers on the speedometer
One of them was playing with the radio
Slowly changing the channel from one station to another
Sometimes listening to both channels at once
On one channel a man was talking to another man on the telephone
The other channel was playing oldies'
