An end of a laid path

By Atok Dan

——————-

A headlight has gone dim,

And an animated driver ran obsessed,

Not sure of what strange terrains demanded,

A myopic driver waffling to invent a wheel

Without a compass to usher a direction

He is a joyous seat warmer by luck

Ready to witness repressive end

——————

If this laid path ends,

He would head for a crash landing

Desperate of what to do

Though the brain has gone flat,

Flawed by a flatted chemical,

A chemical of alcohol

——————

An end of a laid path represses,

Could a driver possible been drunk of power

Could he possible been an opportunist of time

He lets off his gear in the middle of the road,

A long trail of failures,

—————–

An end to a laid path tells naivety of a holder

He held loose on a clutch,

But enjoys privileged of nature

Yet his eyes could possibly tell his obscurity

Frustrated passengers continue jibing about

Yet destined to crash,

An end to a laid path,

Obscured vision

——————
