Cityscapes & Skylines…. rustic vintage parcels… Flickering images distorted with no flash exzuming from out dirty lenses… Entrapment… Concrete prisons playing home to do many filthy rats, trapped in, lost, blind and weary… Narccissistic Judges playing kingpin to abandoned warehouses and small complex buildings… Homeless veterans engulf every dark alley, street corner, park bench, and dumpster site that may have an allotted free space to create a room out of cardboard for a 24 hour span… What seems to be a high-end neighborhood flooded with prostitutes and junkies… Spaced out on probably Neptune somewhere… In the underground Subways are the easy going simple men hustling dollar bills daily… Spit Shining a 20 year old instrument made of brass delivering mostly joyous tunes… as they glance into your eyes with such a peircing gaze, almost makes you feel like your obligated …, Looking for their confirmation of a job well done by the payment from out your pocket so they can receive the pleasure of another hot meal that evening… Wow, the simple men huh… Yes, I know many of them… I always seem to scale my pockets with good intentions of rewarding them with a crisp paper bill… Yet, between the lent and my pack of cigarettes…. I only come out with rusted brown pennies and if they are really lucky a few shiny, silver nickels and dimes… I hate the subway… Scandalous indeed…The smells, the noise, the inconsiderate jerks who withhold no morals or manners…
Upscale, high profile – old money and new money, always seem to congregate in Uptown as they call it… Streets that you can walk down with no hassles or fears of being mugged… Clean streets where people actually obey traffic signs… No bars on the windows of stores… The neighborhoods where authorities may actually view the cameras if something should arise of problematic nature… Cities divided… Neighboods divided… Then I ponder about the fact that some people actually wonder why we are a Country divided??? Ok… Pour naive souls… So thirsty for change, yet so in lack of the actual tools required to make changes become reality!!! … But yes… Cityscapes and skylines*** smog, clutter, and confusion… I for one will continue my journey in the country… Nothing appeals to me me much, in those twinkling, distant lights – of Cityscapes and Skylines***
