Such a pleasant day
I would have you both
going your wild way
in this idle neighborhood
only circumstances have tethered
us together
Such eagerness
pulling so hard
you choke yourselves
wheezing in recovery
only to choke yourselves all over again
Never realizing I just want a pleasant walk
I ponder the cure:
Abrupt turns fore and aft
Until your ears remain half–cocked
on me
Never realizing my purpose
Just wanting a pleasant walk
