The future as road.
Old friend, your eloquence on

who knows where it goes?
Maybe as metaphor
for ‘the future,’ ‘road’ falls short
of hope abandoned.

I take your point, and gratefully. After all, as Famous Seamus once said: “If you have the words, there’s always a chance that you’ll find the way.” Thank you.
