NYC is one happening place
millions of things happening at one time
people living simultaneously
and when you’re amongst a crowd of strangers
lost in the mix of things
there ain’t no hope
nobody you know nearby
and strangers don’t just stop to say hi
in the city, everybody’s on their own
the city is a big horde
of people scampering
cars trafficking
buses and subways transporting
the masses
to their own individual destination
and those with no destination
become nothing
but a lost member of the vast population
a fixture
a lunatic
cared for by none
befriended by none
but known by all
who see the lost ones wandering aimlessly
through all reaches of the city
