Walk On

Walk on
with a pocketful of Maynards Wine Gums.
Walk on
with hope in your heart,
a twinkle in your thigh,
some change in your pocket
and charge on your phone.
Walk on
in clean underpants
(in case you get hit by a bus
but don't you put a clean pair on
every day, anyway?
I really do hope so).
Walk on
until you reach your destination.
Walk on
until you reach the railway station,
then, when you're on the train,
walk up and down each carriage
until people start to complain.
Walk up hill
and down Dale Cooper's twin peaks.
Walk for a year
or just a couple of veeks.
Walk on
during the hour of lunch.
Walk off 
your beefy Monster Munch.
Walk early in the morning.
Walk last thing at night.
Walk into the darkness.

Walk towards the light...

The principal characters in The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (directed by Luis Buñuel, 1972) walk on in the hope of finding a roadside hostelry where they can enjoy a spot of lunch...
is that too much to ask for?
