New Reflections On the Urban Scene
Light from untold apartments
attracts my interest
I wonder how lives are being
played out in them
Wonder whether the inhabitants are
deliriously happy
or in a melancholic frame of mind
Nightfall in the metropolis
Cars rush by on the Avenue
sitting here alone in my place
As a crescent moon hangs overhead
A little tea, then sleep
Shall I dream of the asphalt homeland tonight - or
will my imaginings lead me elsewhere
For now I contemplate the urban scene
So many millions of our fellow urbanites
are becoming tired as well
I can see the river from my place
Lights from the bridge hang like jewels
One can meditate on the urban scene
Take joy for the fact that
plenty of others are contemplating it with me
Peace to the city and all its dwellers
