The Man at the Crossroad
 |
| Picture source: Insurance Journal |
He stood there
feeling idiotic, harebrained for long
in his lackadaisical frame
and care-worn form.
Many passed by
like the desert storm.
two roads divulged into bewilderedness
both of them untraveled, unknown
Indecisive of the right path
he felt, a man's sexuality is such a burden!
