Wow.

Been a long time.

“The Lights Go Off”

From the golden towers view
A light goes on in the Spanish embassy
and a few stars make cameos in a city sky.
I can hear when a garbage trucks coming
And silence includes the vents on top of townhouses below.
The buses slow down for passengers waiting in the dark
and I could literally count the number of lights on in the surrounding apartment buildings.
How strange that the unnecessary lights stay on now through the whole night but a damn lot of it and at some point someone figures no one islooking anymore.
Obviously someone is and it turns out:
12:30 is the hour the lights go off.
