Walk

by

Hardy Parkerson

I left the office
In a hurry;
No time to waste,
Was in a rush.
I walked a while,
The rain began.
I stepped up the pace,
And then I ran.
My legs were tired;
I stopped to rest.
I'm getting old;
I did my best.
I sat right down
Beneath a tree
And rested there
Where I could see.
I started out
To walk again.
At first I walked
And then I ran,
Across the street,
Across the town,
To the coffee shop
Where I sat down.
The poker machine said,
"Jacks or Better"
"Duces Wild."
I had some coffee,
Stayed a while;
Played some poker;
Won Five Hundred;
Cashed in and left.
