City Beats

As I walk the city streets
                         and listen to the city beats
my heart keeps time with every sound
                    as precious memories abound

I think of where I’ve walked before
         and those with whom I would explore
of restaurants and laughter’s fill
                  deciding who would pay the bill

Aroma of fresh pop-corned air
          competes with fragrance everywhere
hypnotic billboards, signs aglow
                distract as all the car horns blow

And as I walk the city streets
                  and clock my brain as it repeats
I’ll not forget the days and nights
                          of many fascinating sights

You captured the city well in your verse Mike, there's always something going on, the cities never sleep. Tom
