Narrowing

Posted on April 27, 2012 | 11 Comments

Narrow roads are not always straight.
Cross roads have promising names
Reaching a tunnel going into the dark
Up against the wall holding back blame

Other people always have an answer
To the questions I’ve never asked
Now seeing light from the other side
I can see which ones are wearing masks

  You are right. Most don’t even know that they are wearing masks

  Walking on the straight and narrow can be exhausting.
