I write poems when I walk
which is problematic because
I merely compose in my head
then nothing is on paper and
my memories don’t have a
very good track record
I write poems when I walk so
I’m sure strangers who have
passed me by have thought
me to be the stranger one
because sometimes I say them
out loud matching the rhythm
of the syllables to my soles
taking their turns hitting the sidewalk
I write poems when I walk because my life
deserves to be composed in verse
I write poems when I walk and
find that the world has new
meaning when it’s dressed in
the exquisite beauty of words
