On Returning To the Metropolis
Spent some time
in the country
Forest full of trees,
lakes full of fish
Deer walking by
as hawks hover overhead
Contemplating nature
has its rewards
But now it is time
to return to the metropolis
Crowded streets,
people rushing by
Skyscrapers stand tall
in the summer air
Taxis whizz by
as bicyclists weave in and out of traffic
Beautifully dressed women
and elegant men
dot the urban landscape
In the playground kids play handball
and bounce basketballs
I have returned to the asphalt homeland
where I belong!
