I walk
this way
and that
then
double back
across
my earlier path
going in
another direction
knowledgeable
concerning
my whereabouts
at all times
no offbeat path
taken
leading
God knows where.
I walk
those byways
one takes
in attending to
routine
and
when the work
is done
I leave it
all behind
forgotten
until
I pass that way
again.
