Bag lady beckons
from the subway stand.
Press a new dollar
in a time worn hand.
City scapes...
a million stories told...
Celebrations of life,
exultations of fear;
love's a misdemeanor
and I need another beer.
Strangers passing one by one;
one has a bottle,
one has a gun.
The weather is muggy
in more ways than one.
City scapes...
hear them speak...
the ring of my shoes
on a crowded street.
Bustling shoppers,
their prizes in tow.
The bum on the corner
with nowhere to go.
A million faces
merging into one
the universe melting
in the neon sun.
City scapes...
high rise and low life;
briefcase and brown bag;
uptown and down.
From glory to gutter
with one stroke of the pen...
wishing I had it to do over again.
Night casts a shadow
on trouble and pain
but here in the darkness,
we all look the same.
City scapes...
write your own story.
Some of you wrote your own story!
Read them here!
