City

The sun sets and rises; another day passed
The bleary eyed move in unison
Light on the faces of glass and steel
Bus, train, car—bodies move to destinations

The bleary eyed move in unison
Towards cubicles that ridicule
Bus, train, car—bodies move to destinations
The metropolis breathes in and out

From cubicles that ridicule
They run, anticipating leisure
The metropolis breathes in and out
Welcoming those seeking pleasure

They run, anticipating leisure
To the cinemas, to the beach: away.
Any place that welcomes those seeking pleasure
Make moments like these last forever

From the cinemas, from the beach
The bodies reluctantly return
Moments like these last forever
Returning to work and sleep

The bodies reluctantly return
The sun sets and rises; another day passed
Returning to work and sleep
Light on the faces of glass and steel
