Moving Violations
We look for an off-ramp,?
into or out of something.?
Without wheels?
we drive through our own chaos?
searching for other searchers.?
We guide each other?
over self-made ditches,?
If one falls we all fall,?
a heap of bodies becomes?
a tangle of nowhere.?
Entrances and exits?
look the same,?
nevertheless, off-ramps?
lead to choices.?
Here the road has lost it's way?
minds gridlocked and stalling.?
Left and right, North or South?
we're rewriting old maps?
looking for where?
X marks our position?
on a focus long out of focus.
