wheels call to me
wanting to travel
has always been in my heart
like so many people
searching for the loophole
in this circle of life
so i can jump ship
and swim away
at least until my legs hurt
or my back aches
whichever comes first
then i can find my way
back
to here
and you all can have a piece
of whatever is left

Poignant write, different take on the prompt than what I've expected. I like that you don't view these chains as a negative thing. Good Luck
