City Craze Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

City nights
city lights
ever changing views
ever changing news

Bar on top floor has closed down
bay view 'es muy lindo'
maid just shook her dusty mop
from the tenth floor window

City nights
city days
who has moved
expanded
bought the unit
right next door
neighbors are offended

City days
city ways
who can understand them
is a rustic country gal
meant to dwell among them

City craze
city haze
can be quite addictive
when loud sirens fill the streets
locals use invectives

Urban noise the air confounds
officer a car impounds
news of this and that abounds
what is lost is never found

City nights
city lights
ever changing views
ever changing news
bar on top floor has closed down
bay view 'es muy lindo'
maid just shook her dusty mop
from the tenth floor window.
