city - Blackout Poetry Notes

Humanity

Walk around the city,
make a habit to 
feel humanity.

Be careful, my darling,
in the city -
a place where men are
distracted by beauty.

Pause, peace, rest.
The silence of a city,
had to be the regeneration
of the human race.

The world is beautiful,
it's not just city.
Mountains, woods, animals, oceans -
I could take you there.

Late night New York
this city
dotted by bright gas stations and diners,
strung with insomniacs,
waitresses,
and lunatics.
