A short walk (A Poem)

A short walk

I took down the lane

to ease my head

which was in pain

It was ordinary
like any other I took
But if I didn't walk
would I have a look

At these faces
I could never
have looked at
yes never ever

and would
I have seen
that sparrow
on the window pain

and all those birds flying
in the evening air
and the man who
really gave me a stare

So many things
I would not have seen
if for a walk
I hadn't been
