more than once
I've ended up lost
in this maze of a town,
on my way to
nowhere in particular

...strolling about the city and losing oneself...
I know that feeling.

I don't know how many times we got lost in Venice, but, wherever we were, we were glad to be there. "nowhere in particular" is my favorite destination. Nicely caught.

Seems I've gotten lost in the city quite a bit - literally and figuratively. Many thanks for the comments, you four.

Very poignant. I love the idea of getting lost on my way to nowhere in particular. Very original.
all my best,
Alan
