I walk the echoing pavements
taking in the evening air,
my tap-tap, steel-tipped boots
breaking the silence with sharp
rhythms.
Left foot, right foot,
left foot, right foot,
metal toes connecting with stone,
a satisfying sound, city noise, urban
tone.
But as I turn a corner, danger
lurks,
unknown to me a Fido fall-out
awaits
and I step in some canine poo,
one of nature’s fulsome, filthy
fates.
And the tap-rhythms are all but
silenced
by the town-hounds in cahoots,
I am aware of a silent footstep
from a number two on one of my
boots.
