ran out of the sidewalk

I ran out of sidewalk

I got lost in Pittsburgh
on my way out jogging.
I ran out of sidewalk
and I found the freeway.

The freeway is chapel,
a holy place of cars,
and they roared around me
because there were no red lights.

Perched up on a barrel,
I looked out for traffic
and dashed across the pavement.
Good luck I wasn�t hit.

And now I only wonder,
who would build a skyway
and forget the walkers,
and leave out the pathways,
and lead me to be lost?
