Three Walking Figures

Three walking figures

Lit in dim light

Occupy a road

On an unideal night.

One in a black trench,

One wearing beige,

One jacketless; hoping the first will engage.

One held her head low,

One exemplified her age,

The last studied the first like a dirty textbook page.

All three at the same point, walking side-by-side.

The trio at varying crests and dips of adolescents’ ride.

Three walking figures

On an unideal night,

Bodies distant, shadows tethered.

My… what a sight.
