recording the unknown
how am I to decide
which is the right way
the fork in the road is deceiving
there may be another route
underground
or aboveground
someone stole the signage
that pointed in so many different directions
—some say it may have been
banksy himself
they used to keep the extension
ladder
hanging in the garage
but now it leans against the back of the house
the kids in the neighborhood
fooled into thinking
there must be something worthwhile to photograph
through that second story window
december two thousand twenty-three
