i am driving in the right lane

This morning I drove to work in the right lane.
Most mornings, once I get to Soquel ave, I head over to the left lane to avoid the merge at Morrissey and people taking the 17.

This morning I drove in the right lane--the whole time.

Once on Mission, I just drove. I didn't look ahead. Usually, when I see a car stopping to turn left, I immediately go over to the right lane to avoid the blockage. I didn't do that today.

I didn't check my clock to see if I was late. I just drove in a daze. It didn't help that I forgot my coffee and breakfast at home--or that i'm completely overwhelmed at work--or that I don't remember the last time I prayed with other people. Or that there are women in my office that bring in fresh dahlias and peonies every day from their garden--and my garden is dead.

Apathy (for me) is driving in the right lane.
