Silent City - Pete O'Connell
The place seems bigger
it's now a city
soon he'll be
on a bus downtown
until he finds her
in the city
win or lose
he will hang around
very quiet-
ly he passes
all the way
through the new town now
full of silence
he is looking
through the dirt
and through the day
a cloud of traffic
foul and meaner
now he understands
that she's gone away
to another
silent city
two lanes west
he'll go all the way
