The City

The City
The city -
dirt stained highways filled
with shouting sellers
“Get your pretzels, hot salted
pretzels here!”
gum chewing urchins
sitting on
filthy, cracked sidewalks
laughing and telling dirty jokes
under a firehydrant in the heat
of a summer day
cool, stone parks with
monuments from long ago days
filled with broken glass and
grafiti
paths blocked by clusters of
squabbling pigeons
the air, rotted
smelling of fumes from
cars, planes, factories
and yet
fresh,
to one who has just emerged
from a ten story building
filled with people
But still
the city full
with all its
trash, fumes, parks, and people
is.....home.

Nice imagery. Yes, the city is an odd place. In fact, methinks I shall write something on it myself.
