A lonely walk home at night

In ordered lines they bowed as I trod past.
All the way, along the path I took.
Devoid of any emotions, yet seemingly lighting my way.
Panic.
Are they systematically looking down on me?
Hope.
Are they bent in respect, cheering me to the end?
I don't know if I'll ever grow that tall
to find out if they would look up to me.
At least in the darkest nights, I can see where the dog shat.
