The road ahead
Is best on either side
By desert scrub and sand
On both right and left
And it's tar is beset by cracks
Only permeated by painted white line's
That denote left and right of centre
But which is the correct direction
You should be
Fleeing
Or
Aiming
In the end is entirely up to you
Unless instead you choose to stay put
and put down roots
And settle for a road less travelled
