Both

This is a small/large

City

Made up of small/large

People

With small/large

Stories

And small/large

Secrets

 

Emptying their dreams

Out of

Apartment windows

While

Singing to the streetlamps

Till

They flicker off at dawn

 

We have come

Here

To grow/shrink

Our

World into something that

Can

Fill up a mind

Or

Fit between lips
