Sidewalk, Corner and Street

i walked alongside
traffic
concrete, people 
and light 

i'm living a 
edgy life
cause at any 
moment the 
protection
provide becomes 

a target 
people slip and slide
graffiti 
written over me 
at night the thugs
gamble on me and 
treat me unusual

it been shoot outs
even host memorials
with candles picture identity's
