You find the gap

 

 Two friends came to a fork in the road

The metalled road joined a busy highway

The dirt road meandered into the horizon

 

One friend took the highway and the other desired to see what lay ahead

Years went and no one knows what became of them

 

What is known is that the highway was expanded as traffic rose high

And the dirt road – well it looked as if it went through a reluctant facelift

 

One day by fate the two friends bumped into each other again

The highway friend had done well

The other too looked fine

 

They spoke and shared notes

One knew a lot and the other nodded

One had a lot to say and the other was trying to find the words

 

They went back from where they came

One certain and the other aware of the gap.
