This thing
It's an organism
It crunches and wheezes
Churns out hard capital as it sucks them dry
Such ants, they crawl on sole-beaten pavements
The smell of air
The sun of the sky
Gray clouds
A cool breeze
Loud music
Buskers in the corner
Prefer my headphones
Whispers of wise women
Drunks on the corner
The city breathes
I breathe with it
The slow breath of the urbanite
Breathes with the city
As they breathe
Unison combined
Voices mingled
Cultures tangled
Shop windows dusty
Starbucks beckons
Smell of coffee
Hot muffins
My day is complete
The city is dusty
City evenings make me feel grimy
The grime!
All over me
The bus hisses to a stop
I climb on board
The city vanishes
And I along with it
Author notes
Just a rambling about Dublin city... Well, it could refer to any city in the general. I just picked Dublin cause its the one I go to the most.
Please tell me what you think

Schweet!
Yeah, that's pretty much exactly Dublin! You ever notice how different the city is when you're alone to when you're with friends? You pretty much exactly described a day alone in the city. I would have added in something about the traffic lights controling us like puppets etc etc but that's just something that really stands out to me whenever I'm walking around. I can totally imagine you sitting in starbucks writing this or on the bus home... aww I miss Dublin in all it's imprefections!! =(
