I made a big decision a little while ago.
I don’t remember what it was which probably goes to show,
That many times a simple choice may prove to be essential
Event though it might often appear inconsequential.
I must have been distracted when I left my home because
Left of right I’m sure I went. (I wonder which it was!)
Anyway, I never veered: I walked in that direction
Utterly absorbed, it seems, in quiet introspection.
For no reason I can think of, I’ve wandered far astray.
And that is how I got to where I find myself today.
