Poetry: Busy streets

by Jon Coe

  • Writing Level Star

Busy streets and boulevards
no alley ways or backyards
Taxi cabs and pedestrians
law enforcing equestrians

Diesel fumes and smog
Broken hubcaps and stray dogs
News paper pages in the gutter
Tin cans rolling in the clutter

Behind the wheel, behind the glass
Will you see us, who shall pass?
Burning brakes and rubber tires
Telegraph poles and overhead wires

Traffic lights and traffic cops
Blowing horns and railroad stops
Tractor trailers blocking view
Delivery vans racing through

Green lights, red lights, waving hands
Racing cars and mini vans
Bicycles, couriers and motor bikes
Interstates, toll booths and turn pikes

Freeways, on ramps, exit lanes
Bridges, viaducts and charging trains
Crosswalks, subways on our feet
Hold my hand, let's cross this street

    without you to help me remember.

    Busy streets - life of the city
    pulsing with energy
    cars bumper to bumper
    horns blaring.
    people on the sidewalks rushing,
    impatient

    Another Way of Life

    Their sounds go something like
    hotel construction. First that
    inconvenient knocking then a
    death rattle of

    Seams of the City




    In the seams of the city
    Are the threads of many colors-
    A pojagi of people knit together
    In their banks and
