walking trail


my life
turning into a river-valley walking trail
paved in the past
but neglected now

in that run-down condition
smooth surfaces bulging
here and there

with weeds growing
through cracks
and the path littered
with cigarette butts
dog pee, and more
that men, women
and children on walking trail
dodge and spit as they stroll

chanting a chorus of disgust

and my aging present
hindering the other swift feet
