Parallel

Two roads side by side
never converging
Parallel.
What was the path taken
to be on that road and
not this one?
What was this path taken
to be on this road and
not that one?
Where was the choice
to take the parallel road?
What lies at the end of
each path?
What was the choice made
to take the road now on?
How was the choice made? 
The signs point the way
All you have to do is be
able to read the signs
to end up on the right road
not the parallel
never converging
never meeting
path
or
road.
What choice remains
is yours.
