i know another way

she thinks that
you've come around
to a different way
of thinking.
it took awhile.
with you taking
the back roads.
not the smartest
thing to do.
the brambles,
the thorns,
swamp water
up to your knees,
the rabid
raccoons.
but you'll heal
in time.
and now finally,
you'll listen
to reason, she
believes,
stay on
the main roads,
follow
the signs.
hardly.
