Roads spiral in many directions

Some are quite tidy confections

But others go around in circles

Whilst others cause one to hurtle



Out of the main stream of traffiic

For jams sometimes make us panic

Causing us to get into sticky situations

And so we look to avoid confrontation



Following lines leading outward and away ...

In order to better gauge where we are today

Becoming totally enveloped in the even flow so fine

Allowing us to completely resurface at another time
