Picture of a City
Subways move beneath the ground
and their passengers sit in that strange public place
awaiting their stops
Beneath the busy streets
life rolls on
On the sidewalks
young men and women
yearn for love
Cats prowl in alleyways
A policeman
casts a watchful eye
on young men
beneath an awning
Auto lights are
reflected in the
shattered glass on the road and sidewalks
Darkness has wrapped itself
around
the
city
Streetlights cast their beams
and cut the darkness
of a place
untold millions call home
