The city's heart
beats through the night
The arteries still
oozing blood,
That trickles through
the urban streets
To meet the dawn and
be a flood.
The hangers from the
twilight clubs
Dance homeward in the
dizzy street,
And sluggish dregs on
subway trains
Rub bleary eyes and
trampled feet.
The mewing of
romancing toms
Gives voice to
jealous backyard dogs,
While in a garret,
bleary eyed
A bedsit hack is
feeding blogs.
The night watch on
the juggernauts
Are owl eyed and
diesel fumed,
As thousands dream
their way towards
Another day to be
consumed.
