Moments fly past in this jagged-toothed city
We exist, sucking the same heavy smoke
kicking the same broken bottles that litter the pavement
perfectly discontent and breathless
listening to the whispering hours that pass
Missed chances shine brightly in the suburbs
Senses are delivered and our manufactured decorations
need no watering. Mechanical slaves do our bidding
giving us plastic when a simple lilly will do
Forests of car-parts thrive. Mercury rivers surge past
Street lamps blink with harsh, crooked eyes
Painted structures open no windows to the sky
Swept by a current of free-flowing bodies accidentally co-operating
Part of the crowd with no face, drifting in the same direction
The pavements flood with life, it's easy enough to drown

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
