Lives pulsing

moving

gyrating frantically

to the beat

the rhythm of a

heart knitted

stitched together by

time

by the ages

by need of man to

defend against massive

drooling beasts

in untamed forests

by philosophers with

white beards and sharp

eyes whose thoughts

spun law from chaos

by steadfast architects

with hardy hands

and concrete callouses

who purified

molded earth like tiny

mortal gods

sentient termites

ensuring with labor

the growth

the continuity

of our Hill

Workers

Soldiers

Queens and Kings

appointed by the

milling masses

or festooned by

bloody battle

we are

individualized yet

categorized

magnified and

classified

a culmination of

millennia in millions

of lives unraveling

and expanding

beside one another

building and evolving

coalescing light so

bright

from space

we form our own

boldly burning

stars.

It's scary to see so many people

Walking around on time

The odd eyes that connect with you

The stranger that makes you smile

The city to me is lovely

Because you know

Even though this world with never make sense

You know

Oh you know

You're not alone

The hustling and bustling of the people who are living. Those who are awake in this dementia and those that are asleep. Seeing everything they're doing is to slow down and really absorb the world around you. The city becomes a giant play ground when you have humans laughing, zooming, and walking around. The daze you get from taking in all of the commodity reveals life in itself. You never knew this kind of satisfaction because your eyes were never truly opened. The city is the best place to be when you're seeing things in a newer state because everything is so alive. Everything is so vibrant, the thrill is a dream.

Look, look at the babies crying, the mother just teasing it. The balloon that a little just let go.. floating softly into the sky. The beautiful clown frowning and blowing up another on. See, see the lovers hold hands and smile. Smell the popcorn, feel the breeze in your hair. Let go and absorb the city, the big buildings that makes you wonder if they'll ever fall. The giant statutes where you imagine them talking again. The movement of the pavement and the laziness of the clouds all have you feeling a serene feeling of human life like you've never felt it before. It changes everything.
