Narrow View

Narrow View

The boy went by

His small face troubled

From his backseat window

I could see myself

Sitting there

Way back when

Never looking past the flash

In front of me

Wanted to honk my horn

Roll down my window

And YELL at him

“Hey, you, that’s right, you there,

Don’t look so sad

Trust me, boy, it won’t always be this bad!

The light will change, before you know it.

So, buckle up, boy, and hold on tight.

You’re gonna be all right!”

Instead

I drove ahead
