Uncertainty can often
blur your surroundings.
Unclear.
The map is always there,
the lines signify the path
you need to follow.
You simply have to find
the direction.
It is all in your hands.

a woman in a hurry
to get more steps in
or get to the right place
she scurries by
saturday morning pedestrians
sharing the sidewalk
with panhandlers
wasting their breath
on anybody
who will listen
we all need something today
this woman stepping briskly
THE END IS NIGH
scrawled across the back
of her sweater
does she know
something I don’t
in this pandemic
nuclear threat, call to war
nothing seems horrific
anymore
and she is in a hurry
to get there
