These people are difficult to navigate
Harder than the streets
So she'll stick to those lanes and alleyways
Avoid the arteries of a living city
Wander its silent deadways instead
She'll come across a cat or a rodent
Feel some blue empathy
They live bewildered too
Scrabbling furiously to survive
The stranglehold of society's intent
Sometimes she sees graffiti
Smells fresh paint
And she documents it
One human's efforts
To fight the flood that each dawn brings
The oppression of sameness that drowns them all
She'd like to imagine herself making her mark like that
She'd like to have something to say
But for now she'll keep to herself
Her breath will go unheard
And she'll waft through this indelicate landscape
Until the end.
