Tanglewood
rambling through
took a walk
surprised by the sight
of ancient mossy forests tangled
with hotly-contested questions
as to where the path began
or ended, or diverged, or
whether there was a path,
and if it has a gender, or
if gender was merely
a social construct without
any bridge over
swampy marsh
since stuck my foot up
to the knee in oozing
incorrectness --steering
some to fall headlong
because never trust
a tenderfoot with all-fired
matters of the heart
