Urban Serengeti
Walking down the streets of life
I take a turn first left, then right
I cross the street and run
Run some more faltering
The vertical boxes and
Zebra crossings, trapping me
And daring me…
Neon signs and halogen lamps
Casting shadows big and small
Just sitting by the sidewalk
Staring at cars whizzing by
Shouldn’t I be in one of them?
Just driving down the
Winding road…
Just me and my self
And a thousand thoughts
The music blaring and
Passing milestones
Just free as a bird
Taking me away, to secret places
Away from this urban life…
Where life stands still
And time is just a frozen word
Where night blends into day
And stars shine with the sun
No questions asked
Nor answers sought!
