two roads

Two roads diverged and I took the one less traveled by?

When have there only been two roads?

I feel like I have more doors open than a Canadian neighborhood in summertime.

I gotta remember, at least I’m still walking, and hey, there’s still a few arrows here and there.

And it occurred to me last Friday — or was it Thursday?

Right when the last years ended,

and the planets became misjuggled,

wet dog still smells like wet dog,

and the fireflies still light up a field at night,

but what really occurs never happens in public view.

Yet there are still the people who make the most intricate plans.

"Doesn't do much to raise Italy's reputation or undermine national stereotypes - but golly, it's entertaining to watch from a safe distance."
