SEEN ON THE SIDE
Tho Jay Walkers

They dodge tho by miracles
And save their lives by threads
Lord only knows how fortune grows
To keep them to their heads!
They duck from unexpected ways
And dash in frenzied haste;
And nothing saves them from their graves
But natures hate of waste.
They leap from stccples. jump from curbs
And rush from alleyways
And reckless plunge and dash and Iunge,
Nor heed declining days;
With never a fear Of consequence
They pillow into the throng.
And slip and slide on terror's tide,
And shove their way along.
No crossing set by law they see.
But stcadfast turn their faces
To cut across-the dice they toss
In ieath-besprinkled places!
And they speed their reckless way
Machines and cars between,
They bounce and bump and skip and jump.
Tall. short and fat and lean.
Eftsoons. whatever that may mean,
We dwcllers here below
VIII have to NY to realms high.
Or elsewhere. maybc-so
I'm adding here my souls fond hope
That when reach that shore
They'll let us bump each jayful chump
Until he's good ana sore
