I want to live
where things happen
on a big scale
i don't want luke warm
or average
i crave city life,
burning hot.
full of life
and millions cramped into one place,
tiny apartments
and local coffee shops.
i like to pretend i am a city girl
who in reality
lives five minutes away from a beach
and has never even been in a taxi.
who gets nervous on public transportation
and is too short to see above crowds.
but i can reinvent myself
and shape myself like clay
into whoever i can be.
in a passionate city
and staying up
into the night,
while my town is fast asleep
and the city is wide awake.
i want a life of thrill
and intelligence
of the world.
