me being Lost

[KitingHigh]

-again; and you
know that this is another where am I

but this one is a little different (good luck googling this answer(s))

after passing the corner of the Avenue
Two roads diverged in the woods.
tHen taking one I looked for the everomnipresent hunter
but
he
wasn't there
So, I turned around
and
saw a
big Bear

and then I knew whatwhich I was facing

I thought for a parsec that I was caught
between Scylla and Charybdis

But I'm not an island
or a summer's let me count the days

I came up and now I'm on the way down

and I'm about to throw on my and Your brakes.


where am I and which way does the bear point.

and the hunter is Orion and the big bear is Ursa Major, better known as the Big Dipper, which can be used as a reference to find Polaris, also known as the North Star

the other poetic references were just red herrings
