street walking
of course, the beginning of the day
for once might not reflect the end
and, whatever they might say
won’t necessarily help toward the mend
see me, stagger along the lane
a tortuous route to find the only way
shame, it ‘s still the same refrain
spending life with blue to make me pay
this snow, so pure in falling white
then darkening on my head
see comrades, also in this plight
but close their eyes instead
street walking, holly, ivy in the air
smiles overlaid by dirty face in glass
look around, you can see me everywhere
although that of course is crass
