It was a dark night in who knows were
in a time of who knows when
I took a deep breath in
The hot sticky sweet humidity kissed my skin
I raised my eyes to the skies and all I saw was
A Starry Night
and looming dark buildings with embers of light
glooming from the panes

Through the cobblestone streets
there was one building that caused strain
a small restaurant patio
seated on the corner of a street
where the buzzing and humming could be heard from about fifteen feet
The quiet buzzing and mummering cut through the stale air
the soft swing of Jazz gently floated towards me without a care
I stood across the street
feeling the unevenness of cobble beneath my feet
and watching the patio

and I realized I had to go
such a place of serenity was not for me

As I walked away I could hear the buzz of lights
calling my name
But alas
I continued through the dark cobbled streets
