Crossroads

Diverge,
converge
depends on per-spec-tive
look both ways
before crossing
before choosing
before dying.
Look both ways
and move fast.
Don't get hit.
Though you are no frog
you might hop on a log
to float downstream.
Just keep in mind
this time, no dime
in your pocket,
if you want to return
you'll have to paddle hard
upstream
or go by land
and risk
being squashed.
