Quiet City
January 06, 2008 by
Stranded in the middle on foot. The city is quiet,
"Quiet city, dispatch me from my hell.
Tell all those inner dwelling beings,
turn off the head spraying nasty fumes."
The cars pass me,
I on the icy flats,
they on the salted streets.
Thirty minutes pass
and I still feel chill deep within
and then a shiver runs through my spine
diminishing in little time.
Exposure to the cold reminds me of
remedies seeping deep to the soul.
