I WISH I COULD TELEPORT!

By Danny Bennett

As crows cry frantic. Disturbed and aggrieved.

Above deserted, characterless streets,

With daunting shadows and corrupted light.

The way ahead is always uncertain.

Hulking metal on flowing arteries.

The passing roar; monstrously ferocious.

Occasionally fading. Is it safe?

A death-defying gauntlet to be run.

As strangers approach, weary and cautious,

Trapped in the confines of the tarmac path,

I wonder: Are you friend or are you foe?

Like ships in the night, we pass unnoticed.

Until finally, the journey’s end. Home.

To a loving embrace, warmth and comfort.
