No bed of roses?

Ever zig when you should have zagged? Yeah, we all have. Maybe you were led down the primrose path? Discover the origins of these phrases in today's blogpost, along with some interesting photos taken in Central Park and a personal salute to a great couple.

If you mean

If you mean
for me to follow you
indefinitely, I am unsure
as to the zigzag sign
that governs my only will
and sets astride your
flowerpath dream of leaving
everything I know behind --
does greenness make the world
so easy? so carefree?
does summer make us
ransom our last hope
of self-sufficiency?
I see no primrose,
yet I'll follow.
If I am betrayed, none
is to blame but lonely ones
like me who tread this path,
and worse for wear,
allow.
