Iced coffee brew
Cars in a monoxide stew
Wind on a pigeon's back
Paper pierced by a tack
Tapping feet, concrete floor
Spray paint on the decor
Cold air swept in lungs
Gum rolled across sugar tongues
Change in a rough hand
Canned tomatoes, name brand
Pillars scraped by the sky,
They stare down, eagle eye.

I'm writing this for a competition, so...comments and reviews would be fantastic. The poem is based on the rhythms of cities. The one described here is Kansas City.
