DIRECT MEANDERING
DIRECT MEANDERING
D M? an oxymoronic
thing to say What
you're serious aren't you
I can tell by the look on your face
I offer as example
THE SCENIC ROUTE
to our destination
DIRECT MEANDERING
I see your point in this
3 line verse
But that is only one conditional upon arival at
the point of our now extended
Journey
Can you provide another sample of incongruous activity?
such that I may I more fully understand this mutual exclusivity?
A Beeline for the coast is 1
that comes to mind
A buzz within my ears
of crossed*defining verse
Have you ever seen a bee
fly Straight?
Seeking out the ocean
if distracted by a bloom
Hardy a trajectory that
one could call direct
a Beeline for the Coast
and back
is a figure 8 at Best!
