Circuitous Routes

Staircases, escalators. Elevator, dumbwaiter

Avenue or boulevard. Round about on the streetcar

Wind around the orange cones

Try to make some inroads

Circuitous routes

Tire treads on the highway make me think of you

Discarded rubber like some discarded lover

Strewn by the side of the road

Wind around the orange cones

Always take the long way home

Circuitous routes

Up and down the hills again

Used to go 60 now I'm going 10

I'm lost I could use a friend

Sir, Can you help me out?

Traffic jam, exit here

Take the back roads, disappear

Up back streets where birds of prey. Poultry in motion in my way

Peacocks and guinea hens. Why did the chicken cross the road again?

Train is coming better count to ten
