Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Magic Show

Sunlight pours through 
my window 
   It's time for 
the show to begin
Trucks, cars, pedestrians
            The 
            city 
            awakens
Now we'll taste joy 
In the knowledge that we're 
part of the metropolitan machine
We'll finish putting up buildings, churches, synagogues, parks
and museums as the beat - beat - beat- of the asphalt homeland 
begins to pound out ists music
  Such, such are the urban joys
