Escape from Chinatown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hell is a garage. No parking. No exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cars enter, gingerly avoiding at every curve. Sometimes not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead end. Cars behind, waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balls of steel turn an SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiny forward, tiny backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten minutes to turn. Where did the cars go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hella gone, none to face the wrath of the great gray beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying down, meeting NO cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out into sunlight, fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escape from hell! No Chinatown dim sum this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours to leave, gridlock everywhere. Places unremembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the distance, a stalwart monument to relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking at will, for free, easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entertainment, release the trauma of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dim Sum! The day is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hell to heaven – the state of being present for every moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
