Pavement dreams massage the pace
of my feet drumming simply
to a beat all of my own
Left and right can't be told
from either as I move along,
rapidly chewing up distance,
carving up a footpath's song
Dust devils swirl from
wishes of wings on my feet,
dancing briefly in turgid air
before collapsing back
to slumber in concrete bedding
Sycophantic steps still
and rest gathers and binds
my feet in lush quiet
of my feet drumming simply
to a beat all of my own
Left and right can't be told
from either as I move along,
rapidly chewing up distance,
carving up a footpath's song
Dust devils swirl from
wishes of wings on my feet,
dancing briefly in turgid air
before collapsing back
to slumber in concrete bedding
Sycophantic steps still
and rest gathers and binds
my feet in lush quiet
