Dodging--
          coin cups, solicitors,     and     
                    clipboard wielding groupies of the humanitarian sort
Stutter-stepping--
          amidst shrunken bundles     of 
                    homeless skin covering the ragged born

Dodging--
          brief cases, coffee cups,     and
                    the driver-who-just-ran-that-red-light
Stutter-stepping--
          amidst underground passages     of
                    instrument cases strewn before musical flight

Dodging--
          ticket booths, turnstiles,     and
                   running-for-the-train-as-the-doors-begin-to-meet
Stutter-stepping--
          amongst jostling travelers     of
                   humanity's collage bisecting Mother Nature's beat
