How do you choose?

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.
