Knots

Solutions in the mind,
snarled by confusions,
corridors of congestion
traveled by thought,
always overcrowded
by so many travelers.

Everyone looking for an answer
too buy driving in the head
too watch for any signs,
some times running out of gas,
getting a tow from whatever service
offers the fastest help.

Yet we all run the gauntlet in mental knots
because once and a while
in the race towards life
we reach a destination
that really makes sense.

Hard to chase away that desire
when you know
if you stop your car
all you end up doing
is standing still.
