Along the Forgotten Sidewalk Near Long Road
This is the sidewalk where car accidents don’t happen,
where idiot drivers don’t crash.
This is the pavement where cracks join pebbles,
where no feet walk
and the one memorable sight is cigarette butts.
Insects crawl and fly here soundlessly,
traveling across the suffocating openness.
No people live -- have ever lived -- on this pavement
cracked by time and a grime so obvious
that people power washed it from their memory.
