This city is too many lights,
to look down upon with a clear heart
The walls too thick,
to run through and find yourself again
The whores too tired,
to not be whores again
The air too thin,
to have the stomach for rain
The dead too many,
too late
The windows too many to look into,
too few to look out from,
An honest man's ego too small,
to die for some good
The sidewalks too wide,
too small to sleep on
The faces with too many teeth,
too few to show and fewer that bite
The heights of rage too small,
too big for your convenience
It is never quiet in the city,
And it is never strange
