Many directions
roads and paths
straight ahead
impulsive detour
life's traffic in a jam
honking horns
polluted air
congested freeway
music blaring
people swearing
from smoked filled windows.
Apply your mascara
in your front view mirror
take out your cell phone
without any speaker.
Getting distracted
without any focus
pick your nose
while you are waiting
for the lights to change.
Hurry up and get there quick
or something may change
on your highway to nowhere.
All those strangers
sharing the same highway
with raised middle fingers
if you get in their way.
Scurrying around like rats
to get ahead in position
an abstract maze
of saving time.
Many directions
roads and paths
straight ahead
or don't look back
an impatient detour
on a dead end track.
