Ball Bearings

i'm confused
not knowing
where to go
what to do

my compass
needle sticks
out reading 
south by 
south 
west
but 

google map
and my gps
suggest
another
place
as 
to

where
the X
may be
yet directing
me are directions
that are directionally
my instincts telling me

you are
exactly 
where
you are 
meant
to 
be

but by my
calculations
with sexton and
star eyed gazing
the Americas weren't
discovered by Columbus
so Colombia isn't spelled

with
a "u"
