The left hand path, leads into a dark alley.

My mom tells me not to walk alleys cuz it's dangerous.

But it's the quickest way to the corner store.

Butter.

A loaf of bread.

A dozen eggs.

And a gallon of milk. 

Essential things we need to cook to make food.

Fish.

I love fish. 

I had guppies once. 

Found them in the desert, in a shrinking puddle. 

Finally being at the corner store, having made it to the destination is like finally reaching the summit of the left hand path. I bought the stuff on my list and went back to where I had come from. With stuff I didn't have before. 

In Satan's name, I walked my dog

down the sidewalk, and through the fog.

In Satan's name, I ate my lunch

only two hours, after brunch.

In Satan's name, I took a bath

to cleanse myself, on the Left Hand Path.
