Lost In Brooklyn****part 3

Concourse "C"
Part three


Directions printed from Map Quest
meant only for one way
confused three tired travelers
driving to Delaware late one day

Leaving Kennedy
heading towards ninety five
they pass the on-ramp quickly
High, 
they never saw the sign.

The wrong direction they head for miles
in this city of high steel and concrete.
Time passed, traffic slowed
weather turned from rain to sleet

Through the city they drive in circles
passing buildings already seen
hitting every red light for miles
given no chance for speed

Over bridges & underground tunnels,
like rats scrambling through a maze
they're lost somewhere in Brooklyn
and have been half the day.
