Cities of Dreams / I like driving through places I think of as Cities of Dreams. Where hundreds Of little white windows Light up after 7PM And the people Who feed us And clothe us And (still) make us Put on our masks Park their little Nissans after work, And walk down to the minimart, Some holding hands with a wife, Some supporting a kid On their shoulders – They walk Past the open Toyota trucks Where, lying stretched In the trunks, Men in kurtas Browse phones, Call their homes – Or just stare into alien skies As the evening draws on And their future Gets closer. @verse
