City Relaxation

No high fives to all of your dead ends of bullsh*t Fake friends will smile and try to think alike Everyday is suffocated in a breathless white Great talk Ride your bike to edge of the endless sidewalk Squares in chalk Annoying children playing hopscotch Jumping in and out of empty boxes like little queefs City reefs Withering subsequently midsummer heat Waves rising up off of the city street Steps taken with ease Simplify life Chuck Taylor’s and baseball tee’s Soak in the urban decor Aesthetically pleased Smells of the westward wind blowing in from the east Catch and release Accept what your mind can’t begin to even think I stopped and stared at the sky for a moment longer than a standard blink White clouds rolled in Holding all of the showers of your dreams Drench the flower pedals under your feet Shatter the concrete And, let the drops water the city weeds A lonely dandelion Standing strong amid the defeat Asphalt jungle Loudly buzzing Quietly asleep Junkies screaming inside their heads roaming across the street Plaguing alley ways with their disease Discarded hearts broken in peace
