Midnight blue midlife crisis
screams past
flying down
traffic choked highway
life
shoving road weary travelers
scrambling away
pushing humanity
keeping all at bay
chased by his demons
outrunning his past
knuckles white
holding on
controlling
whatever is left
of life
he sees eternity
passing him by
and in haste
misses
but by mere seconds
all that could
but never would
be
