Nightlife
Strangers in stairways
Pressed into corners
Or leaning over iron bars
Looking up to the rooftop
Or spiraling down into the pit
Smoking, lounging, laughing,
Screwing or hammering
Notes of nothingness
Glossy gaze of hearts unpaid
Holes in stockings, thighs unfazed
The club scene is serene
To others just a phase
To me, it's meditative
Strangers in stairways
Teach me to live
Pressed into corners
Or leaning over iron bars
Looking up to the rooftop
Or spiraling down into the pit
Smoking, lounging, laughing,
Screwing or hammering
Notes of nothingness
Glossy gaze of hearts unpaid
Holes in stockings, thighs unfazed
The club scene is serene
To others just a phase
To me, it's meditative
Strangers in stairways
Teach me to live

You have a way of wrapping up poems with an unanticipated bow. It is very delightful change of pace.

I've always been a people watcher too, Muse. Enjoyed seeing them through your eyes.

I must agree 100% with Badmalthus....this is one GREAT piece!! I did not know where you were taking it, but slammed me with the punchline at the end. AWESOME!!!
