In This City

Sounds of laughter float
through the  streets
plastic clothes and made up faces
trampling concrete jungles
in the city you all walk
flying arms lifting me
above the crowd this night
hopeless,...homeless
beg for some of your plastic
some of your make up
some of your high
streets of selections
music of your choice
camels for a survey
stamped hand in a sort of cultish,.. you're in thing
tests of your ability,..at the door
in this night
backpacks and heavenly smiles
bodies thumping from the beat
it's too hard to sit still here
in these plastic clothes
these made up faces
in this city,......in this night.


*This is kinda lame,...it's just me remembering my night last night.  And these are things that I observe when I go out.  .

I agree. Not lame at all.  I liked how you used your observations and put them all together (well I might add) to form this poem.

What are poems but the observation of our spirits, bodes, minds, and all surroundings.
This isn't a lame poem, put it in your archives and look back on it in a hundred years, you will be able to go back to the very night with this poem, So not lame!!!
thanks for ?? having me with your night out. haha...

SpitFire,this is what i see when I go out!! We must live in the same city. They're all like robots.....trudging along behind radioactive masks of plastic that cover up the people and the feelings....like blurrs....Strange isn't it??¿ Great poem...i love the expressions you use......

a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson
