Stray

Is there 
room
On the Way
To step off

Into an unknown path
Where
The road beneath us 
Isn't concrete-firm?

Instead finding
Soft unlevelness

Just a whisker 
Away from
Turning an ankle

Yet finding a path
That lets us 
Discover unwalked ways

Which are just a 
Step or two from
The pre-formed
Sterility of 
Main
Stream
Existence.
