Shuffle. Stride. Scuffle. Saunter. Strut. Stroll.
The constant current of human feet
On the wet pavement.
Their wordly possessions swung across the shoulders,
Secured on their backs - a snail army.
Steady. Unstoppable. Unpausing.
Shirts. Sweaters. Sarongs. Stilletos. Sandals. Stetsons.
A delirious kaleidoscope of colours and patterns.
Eyes glued to the ground. Eyebrows knitted.
Cellphones and coffee cups attached to the hand.
Unbroken concentration on some vague goal ahead.
Thousands of wet footprints disappear,
Washed away by the persistent drizzle.
