City or Alley
I snap into the sky and see,
The sparkling cityscape.
I zap awake.
Stumbling once again.
Stumped once again.
Adjusting to the alley that was once a speck of scenery.
The lights aren’t sparkling.
The lights are flickering again.
What I thought was harmony and music-
Is just scrapping and dripping and howling.
This is an alley.
Of the city.
Until I snap into the sky again.
Until then, I hum the song from my dreams.
