Crossroads

a straight line
running ahead
break
stop
two crossroads
another possibility
hmmm
which to grasp
if one then something
if another hence
two more branches open up
the third prospect
grows into four new options
the equation does not add up
but keeps entangling
the threads -
at that time you can
without looking back
incriminating
your choice
only pick one
intelligently,
intuitively,
or toss a coin
