Standing at the side
of the road not knowing
whether to turn left or right.
No matter which I choose
I’m not going to make
it home before night.
Nothing looks familiar and
I don’t know how I got here.
No money or phone it’s like
I’m a lost tourist or sightseer.
I look to the sun to try
and figure out the time,
like they did in movies I had seen,
but I haven’t a clue
what I’m doing and end up
whispering something obscene.
No traffic is travelling this road
so I can’t thumb a lift,
it’s as if I’ve been put
out to sea and then set adrift.
A house in the distance
seems my only chance
but with my luck it’s a mirage
and will disappear once I advance.
I thought there was no such place
as the middle of nowhere
until I woke up there
in the middle of this nightmare.

Such vivid imagery. Brilliantly written, so captivating. Great Post😊
