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.
