Walking At Night

Wundorlic' visions of beauty around Glorious scenes shall unfold Dazzling splendors surround When walkin' the streets at night, behold From time to time on an avenue Ye' see faintly silhouette expressions Of other lone·ly people who... Are threat·ened by your lu·mi·nes·cence No doubt, as you are by theirs H'ever, artificial light erases The difference night and day compares Mysteriously in the somber light places Fore' be the darkness, It is easy to feel disoriented In the city at the dead of nightness Especially, if y'all are tired and demented From roaming its burghal It is not quite the same googling In the image on empty street circle No longer fighting against 'to-ing and fro-ing' The solitary pedestrian's feet Begin to recall the real earth show In all the city's internal concrete Night time for daylight's dispossessed flow Who walks alone in the streets at night? Da' 'sad.' Da' 'mad.' Da' 'bad.' Da' 'lost.' Da' 'tossed' Da' 'sleepless.' Da' 'homeless.' All the city's internal oppressed The night has always different The time for daylight's dispossessed... The time for daylight's dissident Walking alone at night in the city Has been interpreted as an in-vite Of suspicion, moral and social gritty Solitary people who walk the night
