And I Walk Along...


People, of colour
Off colour
Pass by
Animated, painted
Solemn, and matte...
Grazing across
Past destinies
On this potholed concrete...
Shocked into life
With every bounce...
I'm stranded
Under that same old tree
But the highway unknown
This once...
And I chance
Upon your face
In a shapeless vehicle...
Brazen, as it drives away
Into the neon night...
Were you there?
Or was it just
My version of you?
Breaking off,
I realize,
I'm covered with splashes
Of your dirty water.
Drenched, tainted
I continue to walk along...
