Becoming convinced 
roads around here 
stay under construction 
for no other reason 

than manifesting 
eternal turnover 
traffic as a standstill 
evidence of the sudden 

clearing out after an event 
you would not expect 
would take forever 
however another detour 

around the next corner 
witnesses the same distress 
damaged cones upturned 
left lane closed merge left 

pay no mind to the blinking 
lights advancing along with 
the perfectly fine tarmac 
orange figures stand listless 

unsure what they are looking at
