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…
