city rooftops at night, all the bright lights, my keys and cherry cokes blisters and sore feet all the concrete walking, talking, exhaustion yellow taxis beeping never sleeping whirs and blurs my morning tea sunny parks and bumble bees flowers on the street subway trains and stations becoming impatient don't wait if he's late July in the city hot, sticky, and gritty a bittersweet summer the best days i remember the nights lasted forever emerald dusk to golden dawn rings at riverside park juggling after dark the corner by the river at 12:32 so meet me at 27th and 7th or 34th and 11th I'll be there in red heart shaped shades and a long messy braid a frappe in my hand a pink polaroid in my bag my feet will never drag snap, shutter, click there is beauty in every dusty door and every marble floor in every street and every avenue if you're with me, and you believe what you see you know that the city sets you free
