Chicago

7 2 2
                                    

Noise echoes through the streets,

As a black car buzzes by,

Then a red sports car,

And a white Jeep,


Gentle trees stretch up in day,

Caught up in the city rush,

The urban smell pervades the air,

Oh how artificial is our world,


Looking up into the sky,

Black, white, silver, and gold,

Stretching up into the clouds,

Behold the skyscrapers of America


Bridges bend for passerby,

The lakes are lit with eerie breeze,

And what softness do the waves come with,

HOMES calls out to the passerby,


Sitting inside worn subway seats,

Looking out to genus erica,

In the depths of the urban Chicago,

Behold, the center of America
