An amble down a city street
seems fraught with life’s tirades.
On every corner sits a soul,
their memory quickly fades.
A guarded look? You take a chance
that one of them will see
your rising fear, unwanted words
with anyone but me.
The gauntlet passed, you’re out of sight.
No more to worry. So,
You’ve done your best, you didn’t fight
it’s back to work you go.
