Alternate Routes



In th’ end, how many ways did we have options 
on; well the trend’s always for those means you 
saw clearer in meeting needs; let me explain, of 
necessity we’d no input into beyond being close 
friends, we agreed to a Brazilian BBQ, at a very 
distant restaurant - & where navigation became 
key feature - & joining the gathered team within 
limits of intrigue & secrecy - She wasn’t to be in 

On her 9th Anniversary party surprise. It meant 
we varied in gathering information and effecting 
methodology; finding were & what th’ restaurant 
was lent its own intrigue, & getting there via the
alternate routes suggested technology needed 
more’n a long, early-evening drive using a lone

Googled map; our in-car navigation system isn’t 
used, just too European for us Ozzies, altho’ its 
infuriating alternate - a hand-held Garmin beast, 
with linguistic recalculating doggerel unleashed
each time it managed to lose us anyway - even 
within 350m of the said destination, infuriated 

But we made it with realisation by Her’s Truly it 
wasn’t too far away from a track she knew - so 
the return trip was via her most rational route - 
stored in memory; nevertheless, there was me 
& Samsung S7 Edge - seeing it all in Drive as 
an exercise for mapping retrospective sanity
