Last night, I saw New York partying
The buildings applying light,
And cars sang loudly
Opening and closing their doors
To the beat.

Last night, I saw New York running
The cars driving to work,
Busses rushing home to their families
And restaurants completely full of noise

Last night I saw, New York whistling
Trees blew in the breeze,
Plants rustled softly in the wind
People rushed in
And out
Of the stations’ archway mouths

Last night I saw, New York crying
Two towers crumbled,
And streets were paved with debris

Last night I saw New York, sit down at last
Armchairs hugged humans,
And the hoses snuggled up for a rest

Last night I saw, New York sleeping
Deadly silence,
Devastated buildings crying
“When I grow up I want to be a fireman”
And the wind
It blew
Eerily through the large gap
