Twice Told Tales

Had a bad day?
Driving home from work in the fast lane 
(after VW was caught cheating diesel emissions
I’ve been pumping up the velocity 
caring not for mpg that should be gas)
while I was driving home on the highway
the guy having the bad day 
rushed the middle lane
braked hard for a slower car
slewed to the fast lane 
then rushed the middle again and braked as before.
In the futility of the rush hour jam
learning was a problem because he did it repeatedly. 
His exit the same as mine
the lane he rushed was closed for new construction.
Unable then to merge into the traffic line
he turned onto the unopened road and
u-turned to merge behind us again.
