A city, A town

I love the thought of a big city

People at my elbows

And buildings licking the sky

 

I love the thought of a secluded town

Silence at my ears

And mist clouding my eyes

 

I want a cityscape

I want a mountain range

I want neon nights

I want just moonlight

 

I want to live

Breathe smog

Breathe fog

Saltwater and fish

Gasoline and garbage

 

A city

A town

A life

In both.
