2/19 Poem of the Month
                   I91                                                                      

So, I was traveling south on 91,

I had my grandson by my side in the F150.

I suddenly blurted out:

“You know I used to play on this highway before it was finished”.

Instantly I was smacked with reality:

It won’t be long before I’m finished,

I mean when they “finish a highway” they use it,

When a man is “finished”, well, you know…

How was I to understand as a young boy

that one day I’d be driving that road,

the one that ends so suddenly…
