Slice of Urban Life

Crowds in Times Square
Tourists blend with locals 
   and hit the theatre district 
             hard
 Keep moving along with the 
            throng 
 or be trampled by their 
multitude of feet 
   A painted nude woman 
approaches 
    Such painted nudists 
are controversial 
She asks for money 
    we walking and 
pay her no never mind 
  The marquees glow 
in early evening 
 The area is closed to 
      autos
A different type of traffic in 
    this beating heart of the city exists 
blasts of fantasy on stages 
And crowds thrill 
    Adults, children, 
seniors, teenagers 
   are all going somewhere
The metropolitan evening show 
   is about to begin
