City life, city sleeps

Wheeee-wheeoooo-wheeooo
Hwwwwwioo-whoooo-whuuuuu
The vehicles blare
Outside my window
Day or night
Rain or sun.

It's city living,
the sounds of cops
and the old-trunk grunts
ambulances as they go by
And the big red trucks
As they rush to
Fire fight.

At night,
When I am alone
With my thoughts
--- or am I really
Because the the sounds
Out there like hounds
Barking and barking
Puncture the tire
Of my imagination,
And I, tired
Doze off
Of sheer exhaustion.

And you know what
I love it
Love the goddamn city life.
It will get better
(and I believe it)
when I get those
Nice indoor fountains
Water running in my living room
All day
All night
