Downtown

Downtown

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

A cosmic visit to the city.

"

Downtown


In the middle of downtown, streets bend then end

Where day begins to climb the mountains range

With a glow light on the horizon less than incognito

Glass panes fill up with peoples silhouetted forms

Concrete surrounds windows opened like curtains

Steel beams grow to towers touched by silent sides

Small moons come in from other star systems

As visitors strong on the metropolis boulevard

It is hard to imagine how they all fit in the city

With all that traffic, gravity and laws of physics

It all works out on the cosmic stage completely strange

After all, a downtown complex is built to handle change

There is nothing more complex than visitors from space

In the middle of downtown in the middle of chaos

Where mountains are seen stretched just out of reach

Moons roll along the streets to meet them

Lost in their dreams as they have no footing in this reality

And no feet to stand on on the thoroughfare out there
