The sidewalks he walks he knows too well
And while the sun rises anew each morning
It's the same sun
He walks, and at every turn
Learns
This place knows him too well
Every corner a mark of the heart
And midnight hugs
Slipping shrugs
Green-lit doorways opening
To open arms
Junk mail piles and broken glass
Scratched-off doctor names
Do the sidewalks exclaim
And explain
At every turn, each corner
A part, a day
In a way he knows nothing
Simply remembers
Late, lonely walks
Under the beneficent moon
Eventually hand in hand, mind in mind
The sidewalk leads out of town, cuts
Stops in a grassy field
He knows
And while the sun rises anew each morning
It's the same sun
He walks, and at every turn
Learns
This place knows him too well
Every corner a mark of the heart
And midnight hugs
Slipping shrugs
Green-lit doorways opening
To open arms
Junk mail piles and broken glass
Scratched-off doctor names
Do the sidewalks exclaim
And explain
At every turn, each corner
A part, a day
In a way he knows nothing
Simply remembers
Late, lonely walks
Under the beneficent moon
Eventually hand in hand, mind in mind
The sidewalk leads out of town, cuts
Stops in a grassy field
He knows
Teamwork. Rawk. Pwnage. Infinite Possibilities. YIELD. Hells yeah.

Sidewalks
The occupations
All come with tools
Shovels and knives
And aprons
Test tubes and shoes
And broken glass
Falling leaves
Shell casings
The outlines of dried tear drops
Things like that
Is what I see on the sidewalk
These people pushed
By the tools
of the occupation
Tree roots escaping slowly
Tripping enough
To be ripped up
Cut down
Foolish foolish growth
And falling leaves
