Walks of Life
Leather slices wobble, fitting carefully
Through the outline of newly aligned bricks
Warm colors shaped in nature’s dead leaves
Receive mightily tiny steps with sticks
Thick pelts of fur rise up and down from snow
Heightened coverage keeping one alive
Mightily cold but malleable though
A foot prints on the path, soft and benign
Light fabric, fresh from dark corners, pounce again
Racing against surfaces of pavement
Falling hard, scraping flesh, only just when
One gets up, feeling the sun’s thawed cement
Melting plastic’s small layer to the ground
“Flip flop, flip flop” echoes throughout the block
The slight inverse of shoe, unfurled, unwound
No cover, barren shine covering walks
Altering grass strands, plant leaves, sticks to sticks
Through winds of change and eroding bodies
They cycle this track, unable to stop picks
With no will or say, they keep going. Yes, please~
