Sonnet to a Lost Bostonian Moth

The prompt: You're the moth caught inside a car on a long trip. Tell me how you survive. (any style)

- - - - -

Traffic lights are beckoning to me;
rear window in the car becomes my perch…
the hours ticking by, my end to see
unless I find a way out of this lurch.

I’ve never been so hot or out of place!
My wings are testament to my distress;
they flutter ‘gainst the glass as on we race...
I can’t believe I’ve gotten in this mess.

I find a cracker crumb and have some lunch;
I calm myself and try to think it out.
My heart is pounding, louder than my munch;
My insect eyes are darting all about.

Then, thank the God of Moths, they stop for gas;
and I escape back home to Boston, Mass!
