Keeping Ahead

Keeping Ahead

Merging traffic, long lines.
No one coming on the right.
No insidious soul looking to sneak past,
I am on “alert”.

Wait! here comes a villain,
Speeding down the shoulder,
Looking to avoid the line,
The line I am defending.

I must decide quickly.
Should I move and block him
Or remain in my position?
Hatred is rising, I must decide.

Do I violate the conforming acceptance,
Or ignore the rule while defending it?
I must decide.
NOW!

I can’t stand it.
I can’t let the bastard pass me.
I charge into the narrowing shoulder,
Force my way in, 5 car lengths gained.
KING OF THE ROAD!
