Road to Nothing
like the meandering pointless roadways to nothing the roads to something run in all directions too the swift and efficient roads to something with straight lines and much shorter distances than the others twisting turning zigzagging pointlessly for their own sake she wanted something anything so i explained about the short straight roads running in all directions ready to take her wherever she wanted to go she said all the different roads their snaking winding and bending are very confusing so i explained how the short straight roads are as clearly marked all along their short ways as all the other roads are clearing marked all along their ways to nothing i explained with the guidance of all the simple markings there was no reason for fear of going astray and not getting what she said she wanted she explained how she got lost before so horrifying it was to be so disoriented that she froze in her panic until another wandering lost soul came along to help she said it was terror being so lost and the stickiness of summer the frigidity of winter were unbearable and the exhaustion from being lost and wandering along on winding crisscrossing roads was more than she could ever bear again but all that was a lie since she'd never taken more than a few steps along any road going anywhere it's a lie concocted from other people who've moved a lie she tells everyone including herself about the way it must be since she's never had the mildest itch for going anywhere seeing feeling breathing anything new at all
