SHUNPIKING ON THE BACKROADS OF LIFE

Shunpiking through life
avoiding the main roads
traveling the backroads

Straight roads left me stranded
and sent me mostly nowhere
to a country I didn’t recognize

Narrow are the backroads
paths less taken
that twist and turn

I’ll take my shunpiking chances
on a more dangerous excursion
but going to a real place

Seeing the terrain up close
in a landscape of magic
on the backroads of life.
