CITY

I have visited a strange city
With buildings that reflect sunshine
That even on stern October days
Dazzle the eyes of passersby

Still passing at the stop
This city knows no ease
A place for the sturdy mind
To suffer the fitness disease

So able in their swanky cars
So feeble on their lonely feet
They reclaim yesterday's victories
Standing tall in the face of defeat

From here, innocence is a dream
Stairways emerging from stairways
No more friends, neither enemies
Every morning some earth breaks

And if you look close enough
You could find yourself too
As a reflection on windowpanes
A special place just for you
