How many different ways
to do a thing
to do one thing
to take a walk
take a hike
follow the river
follow the nose
in front of your face
stride right
methodical
guileless
itinerated
high road and low
straight, narrow
and into the wind
along the ridge
and back
down trail
upstream
true north
through the pines
careless
around the hot zone
and toxic places
shouldering loads
swinging free
bent by cares
and shuffling slow
full of hope
full of vigor
near the end
on a new path
this far and no further
focused and driven and dreaming hard
lovelorn and anguished
how many different ways
to walk or live or love
