My World – The Glen

friendly greetings
narrow halls
heavy doors
silent opening
closing
a world within
pleasant aromas
assailing odours
wafting
lingering
walls
doors locked
against
what world
stepping out
buildings towering
pavements scorching
streetcars clanging
breaks screeching
sirens piercing
purposeful walking
vacant loitering
predators leering
ah
flowers welcoming
friendly faces
safe places
home again
