Roads

i.

let's say
you're trying to go somewhere

who isn't?

but let's say
you never get there

maybe
that's your fault

you
might
have been going in the other direction

you
might
have been driving the wrong fucking way

you
might
not even know where you're going

but
maybe
you
do!

and it's the
road
that's misguided

and it's the
road
that's not right

and it's the
road
that's lost

ii.

a sun-dial doesn't do no good
if you slept all day

the stars only work
if they're not spinning

time only exists
if you give a shit

iii.

for so long i was holding my own breath
for so long i was folding my own flag
for so long
i was so wrong
and so cold
that every moment i longed for death
and every moment i carried a white flag

iv.

there's something to be said about a man
who is always ready to surrender
but
never does
