Journey

a dotted line
a double line
no line
one way only
forks of yielding choices

stop at red
speed through yellow
near misses at every intersection

Now slow slow slow down
and detour
a scenic route twists and bends ahead
turn right
     away from traffic
 right
    away from trouble
open up your sun roof
roll down your windows
and smell the fresh cut lawns
    
or

turn left
     into the confusion of life
     with the snarls and speed traps and tickets and summons and fender benders

You want to detour from all the wrong turns and
     FIX them.
     Damn it!  Just FIX them.
before your wheels break down and you're
just
plain
stuck.

It's Saturday.
Not too late to turn around.
You can still make that right.
