Zillion Zigzags

Zillion Zigzags

(posted for the A to Z Challenge)

Z is for Zillion … and Zigzags.

A Zillion Zigzags

Zipping and zooming,

Every signal sends us off,

Soul-borne GPS.

Who will call us home?

What magnetic pole directs,

If the arrow fails?

Footfalls may deceive,

A zillion zigzags mark time.

Destination waits.

Note: Like a haiku, a senryu contains three lines with a set syllabic pattern (5-7-5). The main difference is thematic. The haiku examines nature and universal truth, while the senryu focuses on foibles of mankind and often irony. Many people use the terms interchangeably, but poetic purists mark the difference between the two verse forms.
