On the hills of the city

The city is flat, mainly

There are hilly cities out there

This is not one of them

The city is smoggy

Mainly, but still less smoggy than other cities with more smog

And there are many people when you walk.

Sometimes you have to say “excuse me, please, I’m walking here.”

Other times, you simply pivot right and left

And continue moving.

The city is busy, mainly.

It’s rush, rush, rush. It’s go.

Taxis speed and people jaywalk.

Dogs bark at nothing. There are no moths that swarm to the lights.
