finding a way

we veer
and sway, wobble
at times,
unable to stay
on the straight and narrow
line
that lies before us.
the road is not
like that. it's not
a clear shot.
detours,
bridges washed
out,
the mountain slides,
brush fires,
trails
unpaved force us to
take another way.
we veer, it's all
we can do
to get where we need
to go
at the end of any given
day.
