Magpie Tales 185: Remember and Remember

paths incarnate: 

revisited

abundance describes us perfectly - 

opportunity too. convenience 

is a lighted path - toss the maps 

in a bin;  no shortage of owner's manuals 

to predetermined clarity. 

try beating an intellectual path then do it.

(if you can see that well at night)

think neon:  a visual allergy making 

you blink, rather than think. 

a pitch black forest at the end of your steps

is dark - is 

either life abbreviated or extended 

                    for one or the other.
