Heaven Forbid: Right Lane, Checking Email, Checking Messages

Heaven forbid,

The good, the bad, the ugly,

Time to time, as I speed down the highway on the commute,

Lane Two, or Three, my preference,

There in Lane Four, far right side, cars sometimes slower than the traffic pace,

Slower than I’d like, glance over, the driver is looking down, to the middle of his/her steering wheel,

Holding a smart phone, pocket computer, checking the screen, eyes lingering, vehicle slowing pace,

Not my favorite,

Good, driver’s on the far right;

Bad, not the safest practice for sure;

Ugly, Heaven forbid,

Catastrophic instance, in an instant it can happen, another car does the unexpected,

In an instant, everything goes awry,

Heaven forbid.
