Still Thinking

UPON OBSERVING AN IDIOT IN A BROWN VAN ON THE HIGHWAY

A turn of the wheel
A second too late
Just the right time
Just one more drink
Just a decision
Something one does
Nothing surprising
Just one more drive

Another connection
A name in a phone
One more discovered
One fewer alone
Another chance taken
A passage of time
Just something that happened
One more name on file

A song pulled from nothing
A chord timely struck
A deficit noticed
When progress is made
A memory colored
A doubt given fuel
A friend fully known
When he cannot be seen.
