There’s something about big cities. Something I can’t explain well. Something I can’t put into words. But I’ll try. I like being lost. I like being in the middle of a busy crowd A busy street, cool autumn breeze I like to think everything here has a story. No, sorry. Everyone here has a story. And yes, everything too. Three buildings and the tallest one in the middle A park, a church, a public library and a school. I like to think about people and their stories. A nun, a teenage mom, an engineer. A doctor, a student, a wedding coordinator. A housewife, a park ranger, a future architect. I want to live in a city this big I want to wake up in a loft somewhere in these buildings I love the thought of people and the stories they possess I also love the diversity, each difference. And as I was walking in the middle of a busy crowd Beneath skyscrapers Realizations hit me and just like everyone else And everything, I, too, have a story to tell.

Big Cities & everything in between
There’s something about big cities. Something I can’t explain well. Something I can’t put into words. But I’ll try. I like being lost.
