NYCULater

A sleepy horizon opens its eye
Acknowledging the gift of yet one more try

Urban farmers armed not with pitchforks or hoes
Cell phones and laptops are tools they chose

Concrete cornstalks reach for the sky
Brimming with dreams of those who walk by

Exoskeleton cabbies zip to and fro
Safety concerns of others, I don’t think so

Creepy-crawly life forms wonder around
Eking out existence within civilized bounds

A mind-numbing tempo alters its form
From millions of feet, to blues from a horn

Sinful aromas slowly fill the night air
Ginger, garlic and chervil accent the fare

As darkness befalls this exotic plantation
To return is a must, but not for vacation
