city lights & I'm coming home, this "who you know, now what you know" echoing needs escaping.. in alleys/on rooftops, visions of reality: what real reality is now a fierce fight for what I know is good & beyond the afternoon, things really aren't that bad are they? or are we just making it seem like they are? always shining: overpasses, freeways, suburbs & subways - city lights, in my veins like a virus, in my head, like a dream..

written about Toronto..when I was still new to that city... having left it since, I can honestly say that I'm glad to be back home in Northern Ontario, fresh air in my lungs and friendly/familiar faces close to me again..
