Left Lobe Anxiety

By Stephanie Sideways

Left lobe torment


Often I take a vacation
Where drive is on the right
I lay an alphabet of roads
paint my own scenery
sky suits a changing muse.
When I explore this place
I create
I express
I spill without anxiety!
But across the channel I reluctantly sail
Where drive is on the left
And it's a struggle
To steer through the neat mesh
surrounded by concrete
Feeling the limits of my route
I comply
I restrain
I spill often, with anxiety
But the temptation is
To get out and walk
On the right
And face the oncoming

    I can relate to this one very much! I love the way this flows and I like the hook of the steering column. This is an excellent piece! Ciao, T/S Scholar

    Not sure where this might be (France and England or Nassau and Miami maybe?). Anyway, much enjoyed this piece - and I will never ride a bike with the flow of traffic because I want to see the little old blue haired ladie texting, BEFORE she runs me down! Welcome to DP! Still pondering the brain thing, cheers!
