444 to be continued… April 1, 2012

Roaring past me, a late night racer,
big black pick-up truck, maybe navy, purple,
dusting me like my wheels were square,
ripping through the red light
like it wasn’t there,
easy 80 in a 40.
Behind him, chasing, a trooper, running dark.
Did he catch him?
Was he drunk?
Was a passenger pregnant?
Was his buddy bleeding badly?
Had he robbed a liquor store?
Is there justice in the world?
An unfinished story flashing
by me in a whirl.
