In His Shadow

the phone rang as he approached the onramp
two minutes after coasting
on cruise control on the interstate
came news from out of state
that the state of the world done changed
impending transitions
fretting over fatherhood
millions of thoughts racing through fast lanes
and beyond breakdown borders
one word stood out
get this right
and in that instant
he disappeared into the night
peer pressure gave way to a culture of expectations
to be continued...
