societies work . on the basic agreement . of what’s right and wrong
every footprint . tells a small story about . what we leave behind
every choice made . has unique consequences . that make more choices
water finds the path . of least resistance, but can’t .in the freezing cold
when interrupted . progress slows to a trickle . as if time stands still
of course, a cleared path . is not without its dangers . real and imagined
most will clear a path . not long enough to travel . just enough to stop
with every change . what is carried from the past . is the new normal
an overnight change . often comes with a warning . and comes on slowly
the path was altered . overnight, staying the course . will no longer work
