Big city girl
She sees with concrete eyes
Heart beating in time with her steps,
Tock-tock, on the street
And in her blood
Bright city girl
Her elbows clenched
And her fingers flickering
Like the lights soaked into her hair,
Meeting the sunbeams with a neon halo
As she turns her head
Sweet city girl
Chanel and onions linger
Above her skin and
Beneath her thoughts,
While wordlessly she walks
With an army of coffee cups behind her
And her eyelashes shaking in the wind
Lost city girl-
And all that anybody sees
Is that the rhinestones on her bracelet
Shine brighter than her smile...
