When we walk down the road at night <br />past all the houses with lighted windows <br />and no curtains drawn, you like to look in. <br />You say that’s why people leave their curtains open <br />because they want other folk to see <br />how well off they are and what good taste <br />they’ve got, but i always turn away <br />and refuse to look in. I don’t know whether that’s <br />just being old fashioned and polite <br />or whether i don’t like being manipulated, <br />that is, if you are right, anyway <br />i like to keep my eyes open <br />for dog shit left lying on the path.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/clean-it-up/
