GPS is useless in life

amazing what you can do
with a single package of Ramen
when the budget has no elasticity
{...always assuming one exists in the first place...}
or how far you can stretch a tank of gas
carefully conserving
painstakingly plotting out routes
because...
...needs must
& no more resources are forthcoming
{at least...not in immediate sight}
crawling out of bed
even though your bones still ache
sore from the day before
after dropping in exhaustion
because there are others to be fed
you simply...do
tapping into the well deep within
getting up
trying again
that's how we arrive
...in our own time
your road map has no deadline
just go...
& you keep going...
until your daylight is done
even then it isn't over
your body rests...
but your spirit will continue on
if you see me wandering along your journey
your path briefly aligning with mine
let's walk together for a spell
just say hello...
& perhaps you'll reach out
...take my hand
