I feel like a boat
beached on
this tree and grassy island.
Surrounded by
  a current of cars
that circle around and around.
Electrical sound wave
after sound wave
emitted from
the great city hum.
On all four sides from where I'm beached,
are squared-eyed
steel and concrete giant man-made
structures with memories
containing countless memories
containing countless filed stories
about lives still living and gone...
