Uncharted<\/h1>\n

by Kristie Ko<\/p>\n

Silverstein questioned where the Sidewalk ends
\nFrost advocated the road Not taken
\nThe road is Life, no matter where it bends,
\nwrote Kerouac. And none were mistaken.
\nSidewalks don\u2019t end; they only ever pause,
\ntoo much traffic on the road less traveled
\nBattered suitcases line the road because
\nwe lost our way as the road unraveled.
\nOne day we reach the break at sidewalk\u2019s edge
\nlose hope in the road overgrown with moss
\nand wonder why we ever took the pledge
\nto trail Kerouac, SIlverstein, and Frost.<\/p>\n

Because the roads are rough where they exist
\nand where they don\u2019t we must simply persist.<\/p>\n
