The Unchanging City Life
This wonderous city of dreams
Is the place where your screams
Frequently get drowned
By the blending sounds
Of the homeless with their carts
The bangers tagging art
Construction underway
It’s constant disarray
As taxis fight with bicycles
Stop and go, stop and go is the cycle
Heels strike against the pavement
Caught in the grind of enslavement
“Hey, I’m walkin’ here”
In the crowd, I disappear
Is the place where your screams
Frequently get drowned
By the blending sounds
Of the homeless with their carts
The bangers tagging art
Construction underway
It’s constant disarray
As taxis fight with bicycles
Stop and go, stop and go is the cycle
Heels strike against the pavement
Caught in the grind of enslavement
“Hey, I’m walkin’ here”
In the crowd, I disappear

You nailed it Cara
I've lived in this city all my life practically. Pedestrians have become an enemy of all the wheeled instruments of transport. Basically it sucks as there's no rules policing anything

I've been away from NY for the last few months, I miss the city. I can't wait to head back to my life. - Cara

Superb descriptions of craziness of a city. But we love it. Regards, Robert.

It's a love and hate relationship, with more love than hate for the incessant city. I've been back home where I grew up the last few months and I've missed it here but I'm ready to go back to the grind. - Cara
