The Way Way

The poem’s the thing…

By Gabriel B. ShamesPublished 6 months ago • 1 min read

Do you know the way… to San Jose? To Chardonnay? To Montego Bay?

We do, or we should.

We do, or we would.

It’s not easy to say, the way way.

~~

Why are we always rushing, to get there faster? Why are we always rushing, straight to disaster?

And how do we know, when we got there so quick? How do we know this time it’s legit?

It’s not easy to say, not easy to say the way way.

~~

So — we keep going on, keep pretending we’re strong… go along, go along, go along to get along.

But that’s not what we should say, not what we should portray…

That’s definitely not the way way.
