steel horizon

city at night

Lets go to the city

The big city with a soul of bright lights

And we can wander aimlessly

And aim for a flashing yellow bulls eye.

We can go to a place

Where we can mumble incoherently

About all purpose flour

And bright green sneakers

Where we can stare at sleeping homeless people

Where the sun turns red at 6:30 every night

And we are bathed in the blood of everything.

Let us forget the grass and the trees

And walk among the crowd

2 grains of sand in an ocean black and white.

May we become lost in the concrete forest

And watch the traffic march through main street.

We can be oblivious

We can be absurdly happy

We can be vulnerable

But only to the towering metal skyline

This steel horizon has eyes.
