I maneuver through the wibble
wobbles with everyone else, up the
hills and past the straight-aways and
everyday I get where I am going.

The radio my only company keeps
me singing and not thinking, but a
flip through every station with no
good results provided reason for silence.

And the question of where I am really
headed plops into my mind like a
cookie too long dipped in milk.
I try to ignore it for a bit, but not
for long, it is dripping and growing.
where
are
you
really
headed
and
why?
Well, to and fro, I answered the soggy
question, yes that is certainly it, I do not need
a destination when I am so good at
being in between…
two forty hour a week jobs, two
drastically different destinations,
with thirty miles between,
two big kids and two little ones,
way more than two dogs, but only one
husband (and one mother-in-law),
and excepting for the latter two I am
pretty good at being between.

But the question does not leave
and being busy as I am (see above)
I refuse to be subject to such insinuations, and
I am now perturbed and starting to yell.
I know now (looking back) that it is rather
futile to yell at a soggy cookie dripping
in one’s mind but-
I am not lost on life’s highway! There is
a difference between repeatedly going back

and forth and

lost.

Rationally I solve the whole dilemma
by simply telling the question it will have
to wait because here comes a wibble
and that I know from habit will be followed by
a wobble and I really must
concentrate, I am much too busy
to think.

Goodness, JB, you really  ARE busy, aren't you. No wonder you don't have time to reply to the poetry you read. You do good to even have time to read, don't you.....


Hey, I was just wondering, do the husband(and/or Mother-in-law) understand about your lack of time?

This is one of the most unique, thought-provoking, sensible, & "wibbly-wobbley," yet straight-forward poems that I have ever read on this site. Enjoyed.

hi jellybeans---it is very good to read you when ever.  This is refreshing in its reality.  Enjoyed and can relate to a degree from way back when.  Take care of you. Hugs.
