Changed Philosophy (poem)

I'm not sure I'm in love with the title...any ideas would be great!


The streets are paved in grey
with cracks splitting the earth
potholes cracking cars that bottom out
and crushed, crease-hearted souls navigating
hurriedly to their destinations

The streets are paved in grey
I follow them obediently
bleakly onward in a shirt with a bird on the chest
surely you've seen a version of it on 100 others
and assuredly I have five more

The streets are paved in grey
you skip on the cracks
a slow navigation is a memorable one
and sure as I am always
about a routine
and my grey path
my eyes turn to you

  1. To who? To anyone who crosses your path, just as sure as you are about it ? and just as sure as you can be about the people passing you?
