evening walk

i lost my footing
because the trees
and the lights
and the buzz-buzzing city...

well, it was all
too much to bare.

i stumbled along,
contentedly
in the glow
and the hum-huming nitty-gritty...

begging c'mon baby,
just take your share

i thought of you
strollin next to me
by lamposts
in our own sizz-sizzling community...

all those steps ahead of me
seemed more than i could dare.
