My Pieces

driving

i never envisioned my life to be this way.

its like i'm driving in a car, tracing out the route i want to take on the map. and somehow i took a wrong turn, and as i am staring in the backview mirror at the path i should have taken, the car trundles on in free gear and brings me into some other place. and the turning disappeared into the horizon, and i can't make out where it was. the map is useless.

and i just drive on and on, trying to get back to my original route, to give up in the end and just go on driving to wherever this path takes me. and the more forks i take, the further i know i'm getting from my intended destination. and i'm beyond caring now, just going onandonandon... to see where i'll end up at.

squiggly lines on a piece of paper, they all look the same, but every single one of them leads to a different ending. i wonder if it was that one turning? or had i been holding the map the wrong way round from the start?

i'll just keep on driving driving driving till i see a familiar or remotely interesting landmark, or until i run out of gas eventually.

its a pretty nice view here. but i wonder what it'll be like had i kept to the original route?
