A Journey from A to Z

You mark the route
On the map

A journey from A to Z
And then head out

And drive until
The monotony

Sets in
So you exit

The freeway
And soon you are lost

So you pull over
And ask for directions

But no one can tell you
Where you are

They simply say:
"You are here.
This is the place”

And then you notice
That every street
Has the same name

Every face you meet
Looks the same

So you get back in the car
Reenter the freeway
And continue to drive

Until the monotony
Sets in again

And you exit
The freeway to rest

Soon you are lost

So you pull over
Get out of the car
And ask for directions

But no one can tell you
Where you are

They simply repeat –
“You are here.
This is the place”

And then you notice
That every street
Has the same name

Every face you meet
Looks the same

So you get back
in your car
And pull onto
On the expressway

But this time
You head back home
And get off at Exit A

As you drive
A car pulls along side

Someone leans out
And asks for directions

He is lost

You say:
“You are here.
This is the place.”

He looks you in the face
And then speeds away.

He was wearing your face.
Driving your car...
