How do you find the road less traveled?  
Is it the color of the stones  
with which the road was paved or graveled?  
Betrayed by somewhat darker tones,  
aha, so this one sees less traffic.  
The reasons might be geographic,  
the curvature of its design,  
or possibly, an errant sign.  
Still, you would like to make a statement  
and so despite the simple math  
you choose to choose this lesser path,  
no matter that it's an abatement,  
so step by step, betray no fear,  
and when you get there, say: I'm here.
