The Eyes of the City

Cracked smiles peek out

Beneath street light halos

The hemorrhaging lights

Spew into the avenues                                 (Bleeding quiet; eerily quiet)

 

Neon lights flickering

Like a Siren gently calling

To a flesh-filled Eden, or

A demon filled Hades                                     (What’s the difference really?)

 

Booze filled harlequins

Leaning out limousines

With bunny ears and devil horns

Starving for attention                                     (Or maybe just a sandwich?)

 

Scrawled out alley ways

And screaming subways,

Open doorways, to where?

No one knows                                                   (Except the old wino)                    

 

The eyes of the city

Always following; always calling

From the back alley to the high-rise

They are always watching                            (But never forgiving; or forgetting)
