Walking
Walking
by: Mackenzie Proctor
Walking down the street
he is there
seems to have no purpose
seems to have no care,
walking down the street
he never has no shirt on
I don’t know why
like a wild animal
you turn around and he’s gone,
walking down the street
it must never change
he runs away from you scared
I must say it’s rather strange,
walking down the street,
he’s a possum
wearing a head light
you don’t see him until
from a hill he’s a blossom,
walking down the street
the clouds are his show
I don’t understand it
he’ll go
and still go.
Walking down the street
I wonder,
where did he go?
