Out of the Gaits

Watch the people walking – Check their bodies, not their faces. You can tell a lot as they Perambulate their paces. Strutters filled with confidence Step lively, arms a’swinging, Silently announcing It’s their “A” game they are bringing. Trudgers tramp with labored tread – They’re carrying a weight; Dispirited, they have no place To which they might be late. Tourists amble merrily; They traipse on guidebook treks, Jauntily meandering, Their cameras ‘round their necks. On any city street, observe – Analysis awaits, For there’s a lot to learn By scrutinizing people’s gaits.
