This Side and That

Some good thoughts for us London dwellers...

On that side of the street a woman passes,

Her hood drooping over her eyes;
On this side a man is walking-
He looks cold.
This is the evening stroll, in a lonely street,
And they seem in no hurry at all-
Even though they are strangers,
Why don't they walk together...?
