Traffic Jam
As I drive out from homeI forget suddenly
where I’m headed.
But when I’m in a hurry
and stuck in traffic jams
I grow restless
and I remember
Many people tell me –
“I saw you the other day
in the traffic jam”
Yes!
But who was it that saw me in the traffic jam?
I have to enter another traffic jam
to remember.

Traffic Jam
As I drive out from homeI forget suddenly
where I’m headed.
But when I’m in a hurry
and stuck in traffic jams
I grow restless
and I remember
Many people tell me –
“I saw you the other day
in the traffic jam”
Yes!
But who was it that saw me in the traffic jam?
I have to enter another traffic jam
to remember.
