The Pacemaker (Jennifer Semple Siegel)
Hurtling on I-70,
through the flattest part of Indiana.
Mile
marker 191.
Plans
to break at exit 208 for lunch.
Husband,
at the wheel for the past two hours, stares straight ahead at the broken white
line.
Highway
nearly empty, one small orange semi square far ahead.
Gerry
and the Pacemakers’ “Ferry ‘Cross the Mersey” croons through the speakers.
*Life
goes on day after day…*
