I hanker after a Road not Taken
Not Robert Frost's path in undergrowth forsaken
Though not far off and wanting wear
An uphill path, stony and bare:
According to an Oxford Definition
A person given to living in seclusion
Especially as a religious discipline
Describes the path I could have taken
I like the sound of given to
As in prone,inclined, the habit of few
Though not in my case a discipline-
But the cat is scratching the pane to get in
And the dog is stalking the door to get out
And the arrival of a certain person is about
To be, as Frost says, with famous ambivalence
The thing that will make all the difference
