I did not know the way
turned against the flow of traffic
to wander down quieter streets
music played while I walked
people shouted to each other
birds sang

Walking reminded me of breathing
a step forward a breath inward
and so I continued
the street became a path
the path became grass
the grass became sand
the sand became water

I do not know the way
yet here I am
turned against the flow of traffic
to wander down quieter streets
music plays while I walk
people shout to each other
birds sing
