The city will not rest
It screams loud through the day
It carries one through the night
Traffic moves slowly
People walk by faster than cars
That sit motionless
Night has come
The sun has fallen
But the lit buildings drown out the stars
Above it's only black
A sky with no walls
Everyone is in a hurry
To get home from their worry
People seem trapped
Even as they walk to and fro
What are they holding onto
What are they letting go
