Directions

People are friendly whenever I’m lost
And helpful with giving advice.
It’s always worth asking when signals get crossed
And often, you needn’t ask twice.

New Yorkers are given a negative rap
For attitudes callous and mean
But all who have knowledge I might want to tap
Make their help appear rather routine.

So if stuck without knowing which way you should go
Scan the crowd for the friendliest face
And most likely, you’ll find yourself back in the know,
Never seeking a wild goose to chase.
