Amorphous Paths


For some...

Spoiler Alert

Fast lanes guide robotic motion
Mindless drifting by digital 1s and 0s
Drowning consciousness
By aimless distractions
Smartphones
GPS wanderings
Computer voices
Guised as safe harbors
Anxiety's manufactured cushioning

Exits lure
From prophetic Vonnegut direction
To pathetic political flashing signs
"Turn left"
"Turn right"
"Curve ahead"

Choices are made
But by whom?

Like ants to the sugar
Many spin on a dime
Get a whiff of the sweetness
Fall prey to the trap

For others...

A voyager off highway
A person transporting awareness
To the next portal by foot
Knows nakedness portends truth
Complies not to hi-tech distractions
Relies on Life's innate compass
Judging not the allure
But following heart and mind
Avoiding imitation trails well-trodden

Such is the journey
By walking stick
Worn boots
Threadbare cover
Sun-leathered skin
Seeking nothing
Finding the all
