A wrong turn into a Cul de sac. I’ll figure it out.

Where am I ?

How do I get out of here?

Trapped in a one way in/way out suburban development

Surrounded by cookie cutter houses that all look the same

Hey, wait A minute, I was just on Elm Street.

Streets with names of the trees that used to live here.

At least residents can live with the NAMES OF TREES

Oops another wild goose chase. Calm down Tom. Stay calm.

Looking for a remnant of Pine Barrens forest

In Medford. Yes, that’s right little ole Medford

I said Medford –  a hamlet with five huge get-lost-in developments

Holiday decorations already up and it’s the first of November

Where am I ? Where the fuck am I?

Another blind alley and I’ll shoot myself. Now I’m breaking a sweat

All it took was one wrong turn. I’m actually getting scared..really!

I’m stressed, trapped in a maze.  LET ME FREE. I shout

In a labyrinth of u-turns with one ways, always the wrong way for me

I’m lost in a wilderness of houses and driveways

I’m trapped in Medford. Oh my god, somebody please help me.

Let me out of here! Should I call 911?  Cops would laugh at me.

As far as I’m concerned, this is an emergency.

I pull over and ask a resident. “Sorry, can’t help you. I’m just visiting”

Lead me out of this development somebody please

I just want to go home

Is that so wrong?
