THIRTY-TWO CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALK


It's just thirty-two cracks in the sidewalk from the end of the block
To the place that I call home
It's just fourteen steps from the hydrant on the street
To the friendly place where I read and sleep and eat

So, whenever I leave my neighborhood, it's so nice to know
That wherever I may roam
When I see my favorite mailbox on the corner
It's just thirty-two cracks in the sidewalk to my hom
