He passed me
on the freeway
going 100
on the 202
I thought
what is his rush?
where is he going?
why is he weaving
in and out
of traffic?
20 minutes later
I see his car
turned upside down
The highway is scattered
with glass and debris
As I gaze at the scene
blue and red lights
blind me
I wonder
Is he going to survive?
Will his parents be told their son is no longer alive?
Where was he going?
What was the rush?
Did he just have a
need for speed?
I will never know
As I drive by slowly
blue and red lights
are now a distant site
Will another family grieve a loss tonight?
