paths
we forge the streets, the cities -
we blaze paths in concrete and steel
our lives mere wisps of essence behind
effort within time, underwritten and on
display: we are view, we are days,
we, the looking glass windows
to nameless futures.

as it was deliberate it was spontaneous,
movement planned, yet reactive;
someone bade farewell another greeted
and all who passed atop sidewalk and
street departed between skyscrapers
impersonal and audacious as open air.
