there are roads

and there are roads

no matter which ones

you take you always

end up in the same

place

we can run headlong

into heather birds

and bees escaping

into dry leaves clinging

to sweaters all the

same

choosing’s a game

win or lose

choosing’s a game

win or lose

spin the big wheel

and watch yourself

roll off the tracks bells

and whistles look best

with party hats and

shame

choosing’s a game

win or lose

choosing’s a game

win or lose
