my feet propped up on the dashboard
my eyes looking out the window
the lights are so beautiful
they blur as i pass.
buildings prick the sky
some windows are dark
i wonder whats inside.
i glance at all the people
i wonder where they are going
where they have been
what they are all about.
the wind finds its way throughout my hair
it chills my skin.
the moon shines down
i cant see the stars
the lights of the city block them out.
why cant i be where i can see them
only if stars could talk
id have a million questions.
why the shine, what they see.
the city brings me joy.
i love the smell.
the thick air
and the smell of the hot dog stands on the corners.
the streets are so lively
people everywhere i turn.
i just want to yell "whoopy" into the wind.
the city is what i love.
the city is where i want to be.
