Jan 2013
Rest in peace to the sidewalks outside
Cracking and crumbling as they collide
They had a good life, supporting us all
But even the strongest foundation can fall
Saying my goodbyes, paying my respects
Going back along the split concrete
Thinking of past memories, dragging my feet
That’s when I tripped, on that same sidewalk
On which I paid tribute exchanging sad talk
I caught myself with my hands, hearing a crack and a twist
Just like the sidewalk that fractured my wrist
