Scecnes From the Asphalt Homeland

Let the city spread
its dark wings tonight
    Welcome the strangers who
have come here
As a thousand shades 
are drawn
   in as many rooms
wind blowing from the east
     the strangers wait 
to feel
    the power of
  the urban life they have chosen
the asphalt homeland 
         welcomes all those 
who
      walk into its arms
A strong brew - this city life
       but invigorating
                     to those
   who are lucky enough
 to breathe in the life of the metropolis - taste
the heady vintage 
     mellowed by age
  which is produced by
the fantastic blend of cultures
which makes our urban landscape
one filled with mystery and joy
