Listen to poem:

The Alleys of Virtual Municipalities
By David J Walker

I love walking 
the rutted roads 
Running in 
hidden groves 
Through  
      the residential jungles

the rambling 
backyard boulevards 
dividing the
single file plies of
dirt and gravel 

A straight line between 
Picket fenced fortresses of 
Flimsy privacy providing
Trash truck Sunday drivers with a
A No man’s land-bound with trees &
Treasures found by 
dumpster divers

I love listening 
		To the feral catcalls
in the last stand of 
wildland 
Overruled by skulks of city foxes 

I love trekking 
	The pioneered turnpikes 
On fast mountain bikes
Riding & reading between 
the telephone lines 
mapped by

XYZ Municipalities and
The vague virtual realities of
An alley’s informalities 

I love the 
	Tell all tall tales
Of what fails to be 
Needed anymore 
Underscored by
Overflowing dumpsters
