near-wreck

in an instant
it happens
instinct takes over
and I jerk the wheel
to the left
anything to get away
from the large blue flash
converging upon me
from the next lane

this is rt. 66
this is my daily commute
and all the other drivers
that share this highway

blue flash minivan
no, i didn't honk
i was too amazed
we made it

without colliding
in the midst of cars
and concrete
and people
like us.
