If you walk beside me in the rain
Can I walk with you in the sun?
Our feet splash the sidewalk together
The mud covers our shoes
It would be cool if we touched
I’m content to share air and mud
The sun warns our entwined spaces
Just a little while longer
Then I’ll pass along
I’ll go the other way
You go right, I’ll go left
The sun will go away
Rain will come
Shadows will stay
All that will be left are
Muddy footprints
