Driving to Emmaus

By Joe Bisicchia

You and I have labored the way,
the one Sinatra sings.
Tried to force our way straight.
Despite all the inevitable swerves.
 
Never works.
 
You and I eventually meet every day,
intertwine, crash, or pass on by.
We have somehow rutted the orbit
over and over again. Have never arrived
at the choice-point, or so we thought.
 
Perhaps we suffer too much hate.
Of ourselves. Of this place.
Too much road rage.
 
Perhaps we suffer
too much self-admiration to notice
beyond the rearview mirror
how bread breaks
in every face
as wondrously this--
the precious presence of the Gift.
 
To see Who God is.
