A Wellplanned Life Poem by Rob Knetsch

the clocks the calendars the agendas
schedules plannings appointments
rules planning order as mathematic

life shaped by the path so specified
like in concrete cement from the start
all the way to the black wall at the end

sidetracks all them avoided and ignored
temptations moved out of the equation
desires needs wants all calculated

yet stranded away from the finish afar
slipped out of that the narrow pathway
as the sign keeps flashing battery low
