The long straight desert highway
stretched into the hazy distance
putting his foot down to the floor
wanted the freedom and space
had not intended causing trouble
why had he not just divorced
but jealousy consumed his day
the wife too often played away!
Lashed out when he caught her
saw lover go over the railings
had only punched him the once
panicking had fled the scene
his wife’s screams cursing him
with his rage had hit her too
regretted it knew this last straw
his whole body tense and raw!
As the sun rose from the desert
had that sensation of utter relief
a killer on the run had to laugh
until twenty four hours before
as usual sitting behind his desk
in denial of partners infidelity
now there was no turning back
far too late to backtrack!
Above an object was following
certain it must be a helicopter
panic set in they had found him
straining to see where it was
it came low in front of the car
as the UFO crossed his path
lost control and the car rolled
he was knocked out cold!
It was now dark when he awoke
the soft sand taking impact
managed to get out a little sore
alone in the dark chilly night air
dazed stood by the highway
mind confused what was real
a patrol car came into sight
within in him no more fight!
Returned to face consequences
to find no charges made
man had not died by his hand
but marriage was at last over
she wanting this new lover
did not mention what he saw
yet changed his life evermore
an understatement for sure!
It was a few days later he noticed
puncture wounds and bruising
on his body what had ensued
the answers had to be pursued!
