Darkness ensues,
is it the clouds?
or has the restless sun gone to sleep?
No stars to be found,
the city lights are to blame.
Nothing below but fast walkers and loud talkers.
Angry horns blare in a vociferous tune,
I hate traffic.
Ah, last cigarette,
I’ll buy more in the morning.
For now, I sleep.
I set my phone to silent,
I set the world to silent.
