Is it a scenic byway
or a time-consuming detour?
An enchanting opportunity
or an irritating interruption?
An unexpected possibility
or a bewildering distraction?
What is this road that I travel?
Does it matter what I call it?
Does its name make a difference?
to it?
to me?
Mine does -- to me.
Will this road be transformed by the words that I give it?
Will I be transformed by the words by which I call it?
Will my words change my road,
or will my road change my words?
And how will roads travelling words
and words travelling roads ...
change me?
