On A Smart Street

Walk.
Walk on.
Walk on a 'smart' street.
Walk on a 'smart' street and the banks of wireless doorbells track your every move.
Walk on a 'smart' street and vast arrays of CCTV cameras watch over fancy cars on fancy driveways,
as well as watching over you!
On a 'smart' street.

Staring.
Staring at you.
Staring at you because you don't fit in.
Staring at you because you don't wear fancy 'Wellington Boots' that never see mud.
Staring because you're not walking your dogs and talking on your mobile at the same time.
What are they talking about?
Maybe they're talking about you!
On a 'smart' street.

Cross.
Cross the road.
Cross the road on a 'smart' street.
Cross the road on a 'smart' street because a lady makes you feel uncomfortable. 
Because you feel that you dont fit in here because those who do make you feel that way.
On a 'smart' street.

Quicken.
Quicken your pace.
Quicken your pace on a 'smart' street.
Quicken your pace because one of those door bells or one of those CCTV cameras might 'grass you up' to the 'neighbourhood watch' and the 'neighbourhood watch' might ring the cops who'll send round a car to take you away 'cos your face didn't fit in on this 'smart' street.
