The wide side
arm in arm we wander
among the thronging mass
to them we seem invisible
they are a different class
we touch but do not feel them
they are some other breed
who speak another language
a tongue we do not need
we wonder where they come from
perhaps some other sphere
fat and noisy animals
who sometimes interfere
and so we take the wide side
where we can go astray
together in our closeness
with no one in our way
