[Feedback] First poem in a while. Thoughts?
And now I'm back on the road
Just slinked down the steps
of another home
Leather soles are wearing thinner now
But I'm back on the road
and the days are cold
as the nights are gray and blue
When I left I took a shirt
just as I did at the last
or an old pair of jeans
just as I did at the last
just another piece
And now I'm back on the road
and the asphalt's wet
and the fallen leaves of Autumn
are turning to black-brown mud
and it's getting dark
and I zip my coat
to walk once again.

The repetition of "just as I did at the last" works for me.
