and upon happening behind
this van covered in peace and love
and words galore
complete with notes
“listen to your mother” – love, mom
“make good choices” – love, dad
and a peace sign and a smile
flashed to me by the driver
when finally side by side
i knew i was at my exit
and almost home.

So you drove home from Northern Michigan yesterday? I did, too. That van and its messages are proof that traffic is always better on Monday. Shhhhh our secret will leak out. We should always make good choices and listen to our moms, but sometimes we don’t and we learn. Have a great first day of August.
