Sidewalk Symphony
i pick up scraps of sounds i hear
on city streets
the rustle of leaves under hedges
the yowls of mating cats
& sing a poem of my own making
each syllable a raindrop
descending into an ocean
drowned by the swish of cars
the footfalls of the masses
my father's voice
warns me of twists & turns
in the road ahead
the thumps of my heels
just small heartbeats
in the grand scheme of things
