Some places
You come to
Almost by accident
Others
Take
A bit more effort
Nobody
Comes down from the mountain
Without first
Having to climb it
Nobody comes to the end
Of the trail
Without first
Traveling its length
Nobody comes up
From the sea
Without first going under
And nobody arrives
In that small town across the bay
Without knowing first where it is
But mostly
That’s just because
Someone keeps stealing the sign
