Hollowed
I live in New York, and I am a New Yorker,
And I am also...a worker.
I close the door to my house, and begin walking,
I turn on my cellphone, and start talking.
I look to my left and look to my right,
Always trying to keep those cars in sight.
I come to the first light, and I cross the street
As rats scurry below my feet.
I kick at them, and try to get them off my shoes.
But they don't even have a clue,
And that's when I knew...I look up and see
A car coming straight at me.I guess I am lucky,
I didn't feel him even pass me. I start walking again
And keep on chatting. But cant hear my friend
Yacking. And then all of these people, rushed past me?
I turn around to see where their all going.
Oh the h*** with that, I'll just go back.
And there I was, Jack!
I have all these things start going off in my head.
Oh my God, Am I dead?
