Alleyway

A cat wandering the
streets of the asphalt homeland
     sees an alleyway next 
to an apartment building
  The cat walks towards it
 in the heat of a summer 
afternoon
    The alleyway is dark and 
cool inside
    Youngsters walk there to retrieve 
balls they have thrown 
    The alleyway leads to
a small courtyard
     Where older citizens sit
and reminisce
      about younger days
Evening draws on 
     Our feline friend 
sleeps in the shadowed alleyway
      Another night falls on the city
      Lights go off in 
the old apartment building 
     While this cat 
heads off to dreamland
