SOMETIMES  MY  LIFE

Sometimes

I feel boxed in ....

Sometimes my life

is all straight lines,

no circles, no spaces - 

that allow me to curve

and swerve my way out

of circumstances beyond

my control - requests - nags -

needs - others' poor scheduling -

emergencies - uh oh’s! - oh no’s! -

then again - I'm lying to myself - don't
we all, thank God, have that - sort of - 
secret escape route - to that hide away?
