Autumn Evening In New York City

Cool breezes 
   surround the city 
As they walk together 
   in the autumn air 
 Streetlamps cast an eerie 
     glow onto the pavement 
as autos rush by 
   as shadows lengthen 
in the asphalt homeland
        Autumn evening in 
New York City 
  Apartment buildings filled
with city dwellers 
  challenge the sky 
The couple walk a dark street
    Together they move like panthers 
in the night 
They hold each others hand
  And move into 
whatever fate has in 
    store for them 
   On this cool autumn evening
