Question 69

Question 69 is simply a suggestion Danger is around the unseen corner Stay here where trees rest on branches bent By wind safe on the leaf with secret ignorance Turn left to make the better best Go down the road where it might curve You do not want to know what waits beyond that twist And turn untold Unknowns are the inhabitants of speculation It is suggested to remain in one place at a time As an appendage on the landscape fixed Attached to it we learn to roam no more Complacent, stagnant, alone, done in a word Moving to the left could prove fatal, even worse Lets guess what's on the other side instead Stay here safe and warm at rest Please don't tell me. Let me guess Is it question 69 again Let me inquire as a friend Simply a suggestion
