The Alley and an Open Barstool
The moist stampering of the rats
feet muffled the sound of excessive
merriment. The brick walls loosing
their mortar like falling off drunken
flies. The tobacco smoke
of guilt and the greasy smell of envy.
The happy sound of a puddle
being squashed by a tire,
and the crows on the wires.
The sirens of stupidity yell . . .
a warmer place around
the corner with beer.

Okay.
I could see the moist on such a floor
but it is also sticky and thick with dirt
especially along the lines, the edges
where such creatures tread
and I think rats have nails/claws...
yes?
so would it not be more like a moist pattering
like the lighter, more filmy sound of a muffled drizzle?
I mean the combination of the elements involved
when combined... very much like a funkaye, gentle rain
so light it is ethereal. Yet I can hear it through your words.
Um I hope you don't mind my saying, my speculating
the differences owt loud between pattering and stampering
(the latter of which you have me looking up just to see if
it's a real word though I could hear that too but that would
be more then like a louder, more ferocious stampede of
scampering arrat tatooey so to speak. haha I dunno.
So much other stuff I liked that made me smile and laugh
just thinking about, though at first I found it depressing
until I looked again.
