Black and White

Black and White

Stick long 
Trrrtata trrrtata
It searches it's way through the gravel
Those eyes ,
They should be narrowed and smiling
So I feel her burning gaze marvel 
Air thick with intimacy,
My heart merry,
It propels us to cuddle
I ,leading the way down black and white

What can I say?
It's all at the tip of my finger tips
I know each and every pothole by size

Hello Mrs Grey
I know it's her
But I won't tell my companion 
I heard the sound of her limp.
Her hair must be snow white now
Her reply, a wail
A shrieked howdy
By , we sail.

I wave to old Tom from across the street
She is puzzled
Well his sighs are the loudest.

She draws me closer to her
So that I don't bump into that booth
But I had counted my steps perfectly well
When my heart is steady 
And I'm not hurrying away
It's just fourteen feet from Old Tom's store.

I come to a halt
This is where it ends
She's stunned
It's a good day
I see bright white
But at the end of the lane - nothing
She says she sees trees dancing
To me it's just a black void
This is as far as I can take her 
So we turn back.
