Into the Demiurge

Darkness envelops the city the demiurge is open for business hookers on the street show their wares Speed freaks hearts beat like bongo drums In the shadows a needle pierces flesh Night people come out in the shadows The smell of stale beer and laughter comes from an after - hours club The dark side of the city sings and dances as the clouds block the moonlight the night people remain anonymous in the urban shadows

Reads as if you were in Atlantic City, NJ at one time. In your ninth line, is your word "neddle" supposed to be "needle"? Just correct that, plus "theri" (is it "their"?) in your fifth line, and you have an impressive write.

Annonimity and despair I read in your lines, Matthew, coupled with a close portrayal of the pulsing flow of the big City.."
