Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter
All Day Nightmare
creeping up from behind
no matter how fast
you turn – they are
always behind
you.
A gray day
good visibility
but a low horizon
road moist but not slick
speeding by flashing lights
an accident going the other way
but the well trained commuters
continue unimpeded
relieved it wasn’t
their lane their
number.
Notes: The first two lines are titles of two of R.L. Stine’s “Goosebumps” books, which my son was delinquent in returning to the library. The librarian had written the titles on the back of a purple meeting notice. They were in my head as I started my morning commute. I was introduced to “hidbehinds” in Ken Kessey’s “Sometimes a Great Notion.”
