Driving down a one way road
No directions given to deliver your load
Without signs on buildings or street
No time given when we are to meet
If not delivered in a timely fashion
People will starve without a food ration

In a timely fashion somewhere in the fishbowl .
Thanks Lorenz for the read and comment yes fishbowls have no address and around and around the fish goes
Great write. If you could just tell me where to go exactly, it would save me some brainpower wouldn't it?
It is the lack of specificity in instructions that leads to anxiety and confusion. Thanks so much for the read and comment it is deeply appreciated
Damn
Thank you I think. Have a great day
Great poem
To me, this is life. We are on one path, we don't know where we are going and no one gives us directions. We are on our own to figure out the destination and it's important we get there in a timely manner.
Thank you Katie for your review and interpretation it is most appreciated
Gritty and urgent—pressure building with no clear way out.
The tension rides hard, duty pushing forward against the unknown.
Thanks so much my friend for your review and comment of understanding it is most appreciated
You painted, the pressures of making choices and fulfilling responsibilities, with a sense of uncertainty. nicely done Soren

Thanks so much for the read and comment Orchi it is most appreciated
Great title for this poem. Soren…that lack of direction…no signs, no timing…that’s what really drives this. It keeps everything unsettled in a way that lands. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks so much Tristan your read is most appreciated and valued my friend
Sounds like a tough job. Easy to get lost I suppose.
Thank you so much for the read and comment. Yes life is such
The one-way road is a symbol of time and fate. It permits no return, offers no alternatives, and leaves no room to stop. Powerful writing!
You are very perceptive Ellen so right you are thank you for your read and interpretation it is most valued
The Idea of frustration in other areas of life comes through in this. Important decisions being held up.
Good one.
Thank you so much for the read and comment it is most appreciated
I feel this is much deeper than appears on first read and could be interpreted in a few ways. For myself i connect it with the trauma and conflict that is thriving round the world at the moment and the the thousands of people who are genuinely being driven down a one way road, wonderful write, pleasure to read.
Your intuition is most perceptive and right you are. Thanks for the read and interpretation it is most valued
You are very welcome
It's pretty good and well said.
Thank you for the read and comment
You're welcome.
Both timing and proper directions are necessary or it will be traumatic when delivery cannot be made though items are available
This is the scenario that’s also prevalent in war zones 🤔😔
Thanks so much for the read and understanding comment it is appreciated
That hits hard. Well done
Thank you Dan for the read and comment it means a lot
