Errands

Gravel crunching beneath my feet
shadows cast where earth and sky meet
laughter from a gated yard
sirens, traffic,jingling keys

Walking in the neighborhood
sometimes encountering something good
sometimes what you shouldn't
daring to do all you wouldn't

creeping through a vacant lot
holding still in a shady spot
dart down an alley
stroll through an open door

Running errands helps you explore
all the world has in store
