Crossing the Street

She looked fearful
Waiting on the corner of Chestnut and Steiner.
As I started to pass her and cross Chestnut,
I turned to see that she was in trouble.

Eighty I guessed, looking at an eight inch curb drop
That was too much for her.
Our eyes met, I held out my hand
And supported her arm as we negotiated the corner.

Breaking out corner curbs could cost a fortune.
How many people really need curb cutouts?
Maybe they could phone for stuff?
Anyway, there'll usually be someone to help.
