No one uses their turn 
signals around here 
often the lanes get lost 

in merge only liminality 
without warning suddenly 
you are in the wrong 

space while those seeking 
to pass do so on the right 
with little regard for 

any distance that should be 
kept for the sake of safety 
far too many lanes and none 

of them are open everything 
under construction which 
only makes things worse 

so they do it again meanwhile 
across other lanes and red lines 
no constructive accidental 

misplacement of obviously 
different tools of oppression 
justifies the means that lead 

to a dead end the failed state 
is within us idling at a traffic 
light that never stops being red 

so tired of waking up to dead
