New York
By Lily Scott
and the streets become a playground
You New York City through the grass and
New York City in the sky
He new york cities towards you, new yorking his words
swinging from monkey bar to monkey bar as he goes
Maybe if you new york with him he'll leave you alone
You New York City through the clouds and the crowds
passing your New York City around
Just like on the playground when they said sharing is caring
you took it to heart and passed around your New York City again
New York City tastes like grapes
The kind of fermented grapes you taste
when you're lonely,
defeated,
sitting in your bathtub,
fully clothed,
crying out for love,
affection,
anything.
to take the new york away.
You new york on the streets,
shuffling
through the empty Ohio Sidewalks
Quivering in the cold
Gearing up for the storm
that's when you realize
New york City plays with minds
to fight the skies
that new york at night.
