big city, big city
an ode to you
breath to my lungs
juice to my blood flow
makin my skin crawl
and my eyelids bow before you
an ode.
you make me believe, you pulsing poet,
oh
such absurd things...
i see in you
such delightful dismissals of the proscriptive,
embrace of that musical stuff, that move or be blown back stuff
an ode to you.
because
my unapologetically bold baby
you display my deepest yearnings for Us
you lick the fork of the multitude, savoring every flavor
staring back with your tongue out, like: i dare you to shame me
i never will. i just look upon you with stretched desire that threatens to eclipse me.
you are so alive with the beat of this internally motivated swarm,
this swarm that hustles double time
and looks deeply once
i see you. i'm lookin back, deeply, this once
and so an ode
to you, to you
big bad bold city
oh you hurt me so wonderful
i love you. i do.
