A poem written in a college poetry class about the journey of life.
When we started this journey, did we have any idea where it would go?
Sure, we had a destination, a plan, an X on an ancient, tattered map
Turn West at El Tenedor del Diablo and continue for ten paces
Until you reach that enigmatic Future where treasure is said to be buried
Well what fucking treasure is this? Not a chest of gold, not jewels
And what of those who never reach that place where “X marks the spot”?
What happens when you miscount, take nine steps instead of ten
And find yourself digging and digging and digging for nothing?
We get lost in our own tangled decisions, snared like a fly in a web
Misdirected by people who give us wrong instructions, the wrong map
Perhaps men are the wiser sex in never stopping to ask for directions
