she stopped.
the sign said detour.
a big orange sign
was blocking her way
along with several barricades
which she knew she would not cross.
why was this happening?
she was in a hurry.
she was going to be late
and she
was angry
because she could not move along
the same as before.
no
she had to go another way now,
a way she was not
familiar with,
a way she did not want to go.
she did not want to go
this way
at all.
she wanted
to follow the path she knew.
the way she had always
gone.
and this. this something,
was blocking her.
she was stopped.
she was angry.
she was angry and she was
resigned
because part of her knew
she had to move forward
and there was nothing
she could do.
she would
follow this new path.
and she would proceed slowly
and carefully,
and look at the signs,
and the landmarks,
to guide her.
she would try to focus on these things
to get where she wanted
to be
where she needed to be.
