It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere would much rather you not be doing it.
-Terry Pratchett


The busy street is now asleep

Its nightlights guide the way

For the weary traveler

Who’s wandered far astray

 


Lurching down the path he goes

No spring in his step

His days work is now complete

His routine nearly there

 


That house holds a light

Simple, yellow, bright

A shadow moves into view

The man smiles- his wife

 


The mans smile fades away

Another shadow’s come out to play

The shadow moves in for a kiss

A fact the man wouldn’t miss

 


The man feels something, from within

As he watches them preform this sin

His house now, seems dark and bleak

The busy street is still asleep
