DIRECT MEANDERING



DIRECT  MEANDERING

D M?   an oxymoronic
thing to say        What
you're serious aren't you
    I can tell by the look on your face

I offer as example

THE SCENIC ROUTE
to our destination
DIRECT MEANDERING

I see your point in this
3 line verse
But that is only one conditional upon arival at
the point of our now extended
Journey
Can you provide another sample of incongruous activity?
such that I may I more fully understand  this mutual exclusivity?

A Beeline for the coast is 1
that comes to mind

A buzz within my ears
of crossed*defining verse
Have you ever seen a bee
fly Straight?

Seeking out the ocean
if distracted by a bloom
Hardy a trajectory that
one could call direct
a Beeline for the Coast
     and back
  is a figure 8 at Best!
