Each man I meet, Each time eyes teach The colours of characters Only to have them fade away, Dissolve, depart and disintegrate, Just another face on the street.
Soft licks of love On lips of mine Which whisper of Devotion of body and mind, Remind me of solemn goodbyes. Just another sweet sight on the street.
Each venture I venture, Each pain that came, Each pleasure I endure, Each rain sustained, Just another street Wearing a away where I wear my feet.
"The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough." -Ezra Pound
