while driving down
the road to town
one moonless
summer night
oncoming cars
like shooting stars
seemed merely
streaks of light
and as we passed
so close, so fast
our lives
depended on
that we remain
within our lane
or chance to
meet head-on
so now when I
see cars go by
I check my mirror
with care
and hopefully
I’ll never see
an accident
back there

Great piece! What gets me is when they text and drive at the same time!
