On A Walk

To light out      
                  Newfangled air
Lift and put 
                  One foot 
In front of 
                  The next one 
Side by side 
                  So don't trip 
First step
                  Last step
Don't put one
                  Foot in front 
Of the other 
                  A sure stumble 
Each stride
                  Start with a 
Capital letter
                  To point 
The trail 
                  Theatrically
Turn around 
                  Things places
Plants people
                  Be wary 
(Beware of X!) 
                  Of curs 
And coyotes
                  Of cars and
Bicycles
                  Notice 
Ornamental 
                  Trees bushes 
Chain link fences
                  Stone walls 
Birds thrifters
                  Ersatz robots
Carrying flowers 
                  Sandwich boards
Falling Debra's 
                  Dull drones
Gutters curbs
                  Profound potholes
And quicksand
                  Prone up 
Drift and blow
                  A lone tree 
Drops ripe pears 
                  The down home 
Tenebrous diner 
                  On the corner 
Pizza Margherita 
                  Sprinkled with 
Fresh basil 
                  But pass on 
Look into 
                  Flyblown book box 
At bus stop 
                  But don't 
Want any more 
                  books putting
Books in not 
                  Taking out
Empty bus 
                  Line 15 
Wobbles noisily 
                  Toward town 
Snatch a sprig 
                  Lavender 
Growing over 
                  Cracked sidewalk 
And work way 
                  Up long hill 
Stuff blue herb
                  In gory nose
Note how hill
                  Like a big water 
Freighter 
                  Grows steeper 
With each 
                  Voyage
Top of hill 
                  Sad old homes
Gargantuan 
                  Chestnut
Across from 
                  Rock cairns
Jazz band 
                  La Vie en rose
On veranda
                  Violets for your
Furs the very
                  Thought of you
Of drunk stuck
                  Coffee
Bitter
                  Boastful
Nutty
                  Smutty sun
Two late cups
                  Two guile blocks
Three slow steps
                  At waltz time
Holding hands
