7:30


I-95 is how i got to school most days

once i glanced over and had to look again
where I-95 splits to I-295 and later splits to I-495
7:30 sun was coming up, eclipsed by some guy passing me on the right
maybe five years older than i was, leaning forward in his seat

i only saw him for half a second, splitting to stay on I-95

all i could think was, he really knew where he was going
i knew where i was going, but i was still jealous
it wasn't a literal kind of thing

once i stalled out about three quarters of a mile from my exit
walked to school that day
