Side by side, wheel for wheel, on a journey into mobility
Covered by the shawls they used to wear, now blankets, now warmth
In tandem towards their goal, friendship and a life outside
Making way for traffic, making haste for destinations unknown
Wrapped up, unlike the old days, making an effort to be free
Packed up like horses in a carriage that has become their lifeblood
Moving slowly, deliberately, but moving all the same
Ending up at the same place at the same time with the same desire
She looks at her and her at she and with a consensus becoming togetherness
Pure joy and exhilaration with their ability to be buddies
A lifeline in an age where immobility is a curse worse than death
Two great unknowns heading out into that great unknown as nomads
