This Unreal City

I live in New York City An unreal place where you see gorgeous women and plenty of homeless people This city is a study in contrasts between the haves and have - nots It is a cultural mecca with museums, concerts and plenty of poetry readings This unreal metropolis has inspired plenty of writing and poetry From Walt Whitman to O. Henry this city has been written I am trying my humble best to add to the canon of writing about "Baghdad on the Hudwon" as O.Henry(William Sydney Porter) named it in an earlier time

you've left me with a great impression of your city. I'm so jealous of all those poetry readings. Enjoy them.
