Monking Around

Driving to work

all pissed off because some slow poke is in the fast lane.

Swerve to the right to see what’s holding up the lane, step on the gas to pass

Identified the cause, a motorcycle ridden by a retired couple.

Coming up close and matching speed.

I want to give them the finger as I pass, but then I see the lady in the back raising her left arm to point out at the scenery.

Her husband’s head turn to look.  I turn to look.

Hmmm…I speed through this section everyday but never really noticed it.

At that moment I realized that I drive too fast and getting nowhere, missing out on everything.

I slow down and get behind them.  Now I’m following them and they’re acting as my tour guide…pointing out all the interesting things that only new eyes can see.
