Notes About The Poem

URBAN MEDITATION

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The subway whirs~ a thousand hands press close in warmth, not fear. Streetlights blink like fireflies trapped in chrome. Laughter climbs brick walls, a thousand lives buzz, entwined~ The city breathes. We're not alone.
poem submitted to Ultramarine Review Literary Magazine for its contest on the topic of urbanity.

Ha, ha. Ever ride the subway in Chicago, L.A., or NYC lately? Fear is palpable.
