by Alberto O. Cappas
In one’s journey
there are consequences
without you behind the wheel.
They can dress your mind.
They can dress your body.
They can also let you wear both.
They can also keep you naked with your clothing on.
In one’s journey
there are consequences
without you behind the wheel.
They sit you in the back thinking you are sitting in the front.
They let you look out the window with your eyes openly closed.
They let you conclude the journey that never started.
In one’s journey
there are consequences
without you steering the wheel.
