The Road Taken
 
Inside an office park cubical farm,
Three rows deep and two aisles to the right,
I saw a poem pinned to a foamboard wall
Above a stapler and some paper clips,
Which said “I took the road less travelled by
And that has made all the difference.”
 
The nearby hallways branched and forked a lot,
But all the paths showed equal wear and tear
From heavy bureaucratic foot traffic.
I wonder if whoever tacked it up
Somehow perceived some abstruse relevance
Or wished that things had turned out differently.

David Stephenson
