The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

My icebox plum trap easily captured William Carlos Williams. It took much less work than the infinite looping network of diverging paths I had to build in that yellow wood to ensnare Robert Frost.

[Cueball is sitting at a desk with a laptop on it. He is looking backward towards someone offscreen.] Out of view: I got you the ingredients for dinner tonight. Out of view: Oh, and the plums in the fridge drawer are for my yogurt tomorrow; you should just leave them. Out of view: Be back later! Cueball [thinking]: Oh no.

Caption: Help. It actually happened. I shouldn't, but how can I not!?

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
