I don’t know about those pastoral scenes Those bucolic and primordial endless greens Unspoilt trees and murmuring streams I know the concrete and the pavement Uneven cobblestones with cracks in them With dandelions growing through Only sometimes I love the later more I’m in love with the concrete behemoths The back alleys of life The gnarled bouncers (unreciprocally) The curious glimpses at weathered flyers on the floor I love the sterile street lights and the worn faces ILLUMINATED by them The ushers and hustlers and cautious taxis The drunk geniuses The night-swimmers The nudists The opinionated Etc Yet life whittles down these loves for that of the Calculable The Regimented And Controllable Etc
