Walls of leaves shades of green

like what is inside there

must be teeming with life.

Adjacent skyscrapers

bursting into the sky

like what built these

must have been godly.

Commotion uncontrolled

in the streets of the city

like what lives here

instigates itself.

Cars constantly revving

until waiting at lights

like mufflers are talking

to one another.

Signs glowing prices

even without buyers

as if the glow itself

is commercial.

Graffiti art started

sidewalk parted

like the leaves grown

over the half of it

were on purpose.

Steps of so many

pedestrian walkers walking

like the place to be gotten to

is always moving.

Construction noise

in a new foundation

unveiling dirt a rare sight

that will soon return

to being underneath cement.

Pigeons pecking together at scraps

like city trash vultures.
