Chaos

To fall behind
To come up short
Smudge my line
Or worse, abort

I cannot see
Too much to fathom.
A thick debris
Of many passions

One track mind
Obsessive kind
Can’t switch lanes 
For lack of time 

Taillights glow
Straight ahead
Road closed
End, dead

Arrows pointing
Orange cones
A clear warning
To shift zones

Gears won’t budge
Frozen limbs 
Sticky grudge
Buried ends
