In a Fix

There are strange words in Bangla,  
with the most efficient implied latency.  
I decided. 
And, the moment assured me that  
I had the 
last member of my target audience,  
an estranged, tired and vulnerable soul, 
Too deplorable to call the experiment too long. 
And it is a similar word as English resonated 
when she declares , in words like 
"In a fix",
or "Dumb-struck", 
Or even 
"Permanent settlement",
 
Is it collapse? 
The answer key can be 
In a maybe 
Or perhaps, 
Clueless 
in the stubbornest  
"As soon as possible ",
As a life can afford.
