Driving to Small Villages – Sunday 27th February 2011

Driving to Small Villages

i am tired of driving –
to small villages
to sit in the stocks
tired of my shoe laces being tied
as i remain in the starting blocks
i am tired of the emotional investment
when i cannot afford the cost
i am tired of seeing people
who are clearly lost,
for whom others are –
just a stepping stone
towards an imaginary destination
and i am tired –
of having to understanding situations
which clearly –
make absolutely no sense
leave me so –
collapsed on a park bench
or lying deep in though
in my own pre dug trench
