    all suburbs are eventually the same suburb. take care when wandering, mind the sun and its direction relative to you, watch the shadows. If you forget, if your mind goes wandering, if you're not paying close attention, you take a turn that shouldn't be there. you've gone somewhere that isn't. There's still the road, the houses. Lawns and sidewalks. But, you can't quite find the outlet, the way back. Follow the turning path to a cul-de-sac, and when you double back, nothing looks the same. In desperation, you may think of walking up to a door, asking for directions. DONT. Keep your eyes away from the windows. The plants don't look right. They know if you try to look in the windows. The manufacture's placard on that chain-link fence, have you ever seen that logo before? It's unfamiliar. KEEP MOVING. Maybe, maybe, you find the shadows and the sun again.
