Eyes open. The stench of stale vomit
and urine hits my nostrils like a train wreck,
as I walk through the neon-lit alleys.
Jazz dances in the air, free
and clear for me to enjoy.
The pain of a city is almost
Palpable in the atmosphere.
Eyes closed. The scent of freshly
cut green grass lingers as I stroll
through a warm, inviting
cement trail through purple and
yellow and white flowers, welcoming
me with every step I take.
Paradise on Earth.
Eyes open. Strangers shout
at one another, cameras flash
their bright, white lights as
a young woman exposes her
hard pink nipples for the crowds,
cheap plastic beads shower down
upon the victim of her own sexuality.
Eyes closed. Hummingbirds
dart and dash among the
nectar filled lilacs, amongst
the buzzing of honey bees
and floating orange and yellow
monarchs, just looking for
their next meal.
Eyes open. Clopping
horses carry blue uniforms,
watching out for mischief
before it breaks out and
becomes out of hand.
A young man stumbles out
of a bar, a clear cup full of
coke and liquor rests in his
Unsteady hands.
A different, but equally
beautiful paradise of a city.
Peace and love
and urine hits my nostrils like a train wreck,
as I walk through the neon-lit alleys.

and clear for me to enjoy.
