I was in the area.. so decided to stop by and see him at work..one day around lunchtime. there you sat in your jeep.. so i got in, you seemed surprised but happy to see me.. You opened your lunchbox, and my heart grew cold and weak it was empty save for three beers and a mickey of cc .. Seeing the look on my face.. You said please don't look at me with that look of disappoinment.. And then offered me a drink.. it was 1145 am.. I drove home in a fog, emotions running the gamut. dissapointment, fear and anger.. overwhelming me.. And wondering about the people who would be driving the same highway, a few short hours later that day.. Never suspecting that the nice looking man in the black jeep had just had a liquid lunch that day.

About this poem:
So much senseless tradgedy could be avoided if we all made the choice to NOT drink and drive!
Alas a little too close for me though.. Ya know? hmmm... and from what I heard quite common among auto workers.. yet still very scary to me.. Thanks for your comments.. L..
