poetry by j matthew waters

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
