Lanes

When reality and illusion 
are one in the same,
The the result is confusion
that's taking each lane...
Though I flash every high beam
trying to get by,
It's the glare from behind 
That's much greater than mines....
So what I'm trying to get around
Doesn't know that I'm there,
Seem's all the light at my back
Is making me disappear...
So I move to the left 
just to see what's ahead,
And see sign's along this cleft
That I must have misread...
When I pull out my shades
I can finally get over,
And avoid the charade
Just by taking the shoulder...
