WHAT SIGNS? I SEE NO SIGNS

So, did you ever feel something deep down that you didn’t know what to do with? A feeling that you just couldn’t shake? A pile of rocks churning and tumbling in your belly that wouldn’t stop somersaulting . . . almost like a high speed train with failed breaks? And no matter how much the gymnastics continued or how fast the train sped, you ignored them? Did your brain ever rationalize and talk you out of the message that runaway train was trying to deliver? Did you ever ignore the fullness of the rocks cartwheeling in your belly when all they were trying to do was get your attention?

What is up with me? Sometimes I swear the scientific part of my brain is dumber than the common sense part. How could I not see the in your face signs; STOP, DANGER, SPEED BUMP AHEAD, DO NOT ENTER, SLOW-PROCEED WITH CAUTION, WRONG WAY, or the bright red flashing railroad track signal in front of me, with the obstructive arm that prevents me from going further due to what? An oncoming high speed train! Did the cranberry red WRONG WAY sign not get my attention? What about the SLOW-HIGH TRAFFIC AREA yellow cautionary sign? Better yet, I completely missed the canary colored, diamond shaped DEAD END sign with added reflectors that tried to warn me of impending doom. Jeez Louise! You’ve GOT to be kidding me. I hate to mimic an emoji in here but S.M.H. Shame on me.

I think I’m going to lobby for new traffic signs for those of us who are oblivious. What do you think of RUN AND DON’T LOOK BACK, WAKE UP-YOU’RE SLEEPING, GET OUTTA DODGE, HELL TA DA NO, and my favorite, YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER-SCREW HIM?
