Traffic Jam

As I drive out from home
I forget suddenly
where I’m headed.
But when I’m in a hurry
and stuck in traffic jams
I grow restless
and I remember

Many people tell me –
“I saw you the other day
in the traffic jam”

Yes!
But who was it that saw me in the traffic jam?
I have to enter another traffic jam
to remember.

TRAFFIC JAM

Traffic Jam

As I drive out from home
I forget suddenly
where I’m headed.
But when I’m in a hurry
and stuck in traffic jams
I grow restless
and I remember

Many people tell me –
“I saw you the other day
in the traffic jam”

Yes!
But who was it that saw me in the traffic jam?
I have to enter another traffic jam
to remember.
