I've had the idea of writing a poem about a city full of energy for awhile, so thank you Metaphorest for your colored city creation which pushed me to inspiration.


 


Cities feel different


There's a current running through them


An electrified wire that connects


Every streetlamp with every skyscraper


It surges up through the soles of your shoes


Snaking alongside every crack in the pavement


A neverending house party


Where the speakers vibrate the very fabric of your jeans


Instilling the rhythm into your body


The air you breathe buzzes with vibrant anticipation


I hope I get this job.  Did she just wink at me?  Look Mom a butterfly!  I'll have that office one day.  Best concert of all time!  Will you marry me?


Sights and sounds moving too fast to identify


Colors blur together in a hum; a whirring gyroscope


Lines extend against buildings, reaching as arms towards the sky


Sound waves engulf you, wrapping you in a thick blanket of music:  melodic, harmonic, and purely sonic


A buzzing electricity


A kinetic energy


The city and all its creations glow with excitement
