Broke ‘n’ Down

by Anthony Ward

I’m broke ‘n’ down on the road of life.
In need of service ’so I can get some fuel
That’ll see me on my way,

While slowing people down
So they can take a look
At the accident they’re expecting to see.

Watching me stumble-
All giddy like
-unable to focus;

Too much thinking making me trip over my thoughts
Until I’m left standing horizontally-
Holding on for dear life.
