Mike Callahan and I commuted together
he attained the life he thought best
a New Hampshire woodsy upscale home 
a Volvo wagon like TV families out west 
evening relaxation with martinis or just two
fond memories of sex and cocaine
white shirt white collar job 
good looking and fit 
an attractive wife
adolescent son and a cute daughter.
The director of high tech operations
he declined Cisco’s offer and
continued his commute to Cambridge alone
in a white shirt in a Volvo
in a few years more
a heart attack killed him at 45 or maybe just 44.
