Close to bear,
smiles not stares,
the density breathes,
the detritus leaves
clear the streets
as the spring upheaves
scenes of green.
The rain fogs over,
yet nobody cares,
dancing naked in the rain
without a glare.
The noise is silent,
an ever present roar,
with everything a block away
how could one want more?
The city never sleeps
and the streets could eat your soul,
but pay the tolls and protect your peace,
the memories will be yours to keep.
