Sunglasses

Tap, scrape
Tap, scrape
Tap, scrape

Flowing water; maybe a fountain?
Even tapping; shoes on brick
Laughing loud; probably young men?
Rough coughing; someone is sick

Tap, scrape
Tap, scrape
Tap, scrape

Panting low; perhaps a dog?
Leaves rustling; the wind chills me
Gasping breath; an ugly frog?
Girls giggling; they can see

Tap, scrape
Tap, scrape
Tap, clank

Reaching out; is it near?
Cold piercing; knob smooth and round
Resisting some; hesitant gear?
Now turning; destination found
