the road not taken

she curiously stares
and wonders
why the path
looks so familiar
the road
twists and curves
the trees hang low
and yet
even the cracks
in the ground
where the grass
creeps up from
seem familiar
her eyes widen
hoping that the
understanding
will be more
visible

puzzled
she takes a step
the confusion
disappears
as the memories
of the road taken
flood her mind
then
she realizes
that she has made
the same mistake
twice
