Walk



















Sometimes
I  prefer to walk
And just smell the same air
See a crisp picture
Without pasty bus window glass
To separate the real
From me

This paranoid paki boy
Might have to turn around
Then and now
As silhouettes lurk
In and out of turn
Mostly just mine
But its better
When I walk

Breathing the air
Times of foul and fair
Reality clear
Perfect soundtrack in my ear
When the rhythm fits the scene
When I walk
And the chaos is serene

City lights
Dark, black railings
Old street lamp ridden
Mist hidden
Intermittent, paces
Now the sounds of faces
Laughing
Clicking of the heel
Of loafer
Purpose walker
Smooth talker


Neon fade
And reappear
Upon the wired canvas
City campus
Bustle hustle
Teach preach
Make your muscle
Touches of a thousand people
Rainbow skin
Tall and feeble

As a sun beam meets
The glass door
See yourself
Catch a glimpse
Did you forget that you exist
When you persist
To keep pacing
On the pavement
Catching strangers
As the day went
Time favours
Those who take it

Take a walk.
You just might like it...
