Country girl
Left home readily
Big city
Brighter lights
Her daddy worried himself
Little girl no more

Bright lights, all around me, blinding,
Noisy streets, surround me, reminding
There’s no place to turn to, for quiet
Never been to the city? You must try it!
Different faces, and different names
Nothing here, is ever the same
Skyscrapers towering, larger than life
Hop in a taxi cab, things looking rife
Take in a show, have a drink at a bar
Go everywhere, find something bizarre
There’s nothing like it, not here, nor there
You’ll love taking in, NYC’s Times Square

02 Tuesday Sep 2014
A hand flashes before me
As I step off the concrete
Into the tarry abyss of asphalt
Laying heavy under my feet
Painted white lines blur
Intertwined with bodies
Avoiding the influx of traffic
Haphazardly pushing by
Warning sounds provoke
Like a morning alarm clock
Playing a deafening melody
Out of sync, out of rhythm
The heartbeat of the city
And suddenly I am lost
Diverted to the left
That doesn’t seem right
Gridlocked
Pushing and pulling against
The flow of indifference
