City Senses

The city smells of dust and dirt;
Spews noisey transit concert.

The city smells of dust and dirt;
Where trains, buses and bikes flirt.

The city smells of dust and dirt
People cross streets on high alert!

The city smells of dust and dirt
Smoke and food wafts in spurts.

The city smells of dust and dirt.
Water leaks in rhythmic squirt.

The city smells of dust and dirt,
Swirls with folks poor and hurt.

The city smells of dust and dirt
My nostrils sting in pungent girt.

The city smells of dust and dirt
My eyes burn from crystalline chert.

The city smells of dust and dirt,
Pulsating with life, concretely pert.
