Marshall Layne Poet Rhyme

If Streets Could Talk

If the streets could talk, they would share stories..
Beautiful soliloquies
Harsh Symphonies
Sad Sanctity.
If the roads could talk they could tell of block parties.
Riots starting.
Friends breaking up friendships.
Life’s ending,
And its beautiful beginnings.
All from the car to black top tar,
A dad speeding home from work as his baby is born.
A kid speeding down the road full of freedom and life asking for more.
A mom speeding home from work because her baby is no more..
If the streets could talk..
They would be the best story tellers.
