Corner of the Street

Pedestrians are moving ups and downs the day can define the differences he experiences in the bathroom, cars buzzing their noise, around my understanding I cannot keep on thrusting for answers which has to be beast of my thinking Dancers are exercising their muscles to master the masquerade the smile of the day is rancor still parade to graduate from grand finale to feast from frost to frog’s habitat to house facade Jinx to millions of of optimistic I orientate to orchestra from the band of artists under my weight I wait to make the same memory to memorize a verse of poem in October morning by the chapel to catwalk Okra runs my mouth to the hills from the initial to inter alia from rucksack to realization, I lit candle in the dark to defend myself, I run to the basketball court to cut the cat and captivate the cactus I run to Kilimanjaro to quit from slavery to salvation and to salute the King Selassie of Ethiopia via the river Nile through Egypt to the caravan desert to desist poverty I decommission and dictate diction and redeem vision beneath the demeanor and connote to contact the possibility of billionaires and I ask Bill Gates foundation to donate to ‘deja vue’ I move to fascinate the fast thinkers to think before they too thin and to build ballad into balloon The suffering of the African after the thunderstorm moves from hope to doomsday to dismantle all barriers under the garage to guarantee gateway to goat skin. If the streets can answer me I would have asked them to stop all despotic leaders in Africa from their rogue as mighty falling below fowl beck to the neck of tighten knot on the chest of bridegroom’s locket Buckle in the buckets kangaroo looks towards ship deck to the doctor as he documents all details to save drug dealers from Cinderella to development, from jeopardy to gymnasium under my feeling I dust from my balcony to the backstage view that being missed the mission to miss out without shout and gun shoot without killing the man and the clause that cloud the way I ponder under the umbrella to hogback individual Save the environment to avoid softening your ability jumping from Germany to jeopardy, epic to the epicenter to the episode and escort the wattle of cock to coco cola bottles I epitomize estate to effectual Duke of Milan to escape from sun burn, night watch to nightmare I can merely sleep night with lots of things to digest I cannot afford to sleep while the world facing catastrophic policies, sand on the beach money in the banks, sick people in the hospitals’ beds, the graves are cracking People no longer love one another philosophy, the wind cracks my skin to scrapped metal I mentored archaeologists to save the pyramid of Egypt. Tsunami to Japan socket of my thought randomly rolls from fan to fandom and from pirate to patriotism sails through the Gulf of Guinea I swallowed pills to speak Spanish, inmates smile behind bars hoping to escape from scandal and ready to face stigma from society to silver button I visited jury to vision vacation from verisimilitude drain to cascade of water under pipe to pop star carbon monoxide in the air cancer in the rise planes in air, ships in sea between the rich and the poor is paradoxically widening.
