In every town there are many roads that lead
to places like
schools and churches and homes and stores.
In every town those many roads
can twist and curve and end just as suddenly as they began
with names and numbers to mark their place on maps in books and printed within hastily folded booklets lost under car-seats and in stuffed into backpacks and glove compartments and desk drawers.
And if you are curious
and would really like to know
you could
ask someone like me how many roads lead
to haunted houses
and neglected cemeteries
and corners where someone looked up into a strange face and wondered if they were going home for the last time
and someone like me
will tell you
with the sunset falling in their eyes
that
there is only one road
that goes to these places
Only One.
