(how do you interpret it? i sense something political in it.)

In the city, a road with no exit is marked Dead End. In the country, we call these roads lanes. I always think tha tit is sad to label anthing a dead end. No one wants to explore it then. But walking down a lane is romantic and exciting. I hesitate to venture down a dead-end road, but I look for lanes to explore with a favourite friend. An unexpected building, a rare flower, a quiet peace all wait for me on country lanes.
