City of Lights

The capacious city skyline
Clings to the horizon
The monstrous sight of concrete
Slams into your peepers
The incandescent lights
Of Old New York
Attract the bustling
New York folks, to the fresh “Bop’n’Jazz”
Coolly type clubs
For the hipster
Cat & Co.
The In Vogue Cadence
Of rock, rap’n’jazz
Attract artists and poets
To sit and talk of dreams
Nomadic, Romantic, Dogmatic
Men, Women and Children
Hangout for a good buzz
Like the folks of East Village
Slip’n’slide
Between the yellow blur,
Of cabs’n’cars
And savour the scent of
Freshly made coffee
Poured by the little old lady
In the City of Lights.
