a city heat
relentless
no air
can't open the window
can't cool down
no breeze
nowhere to go
into the night
the iron road
rumbling over the viaduct
up from the coast to this big city
noisy late night traffic down endless streets
noisy neighbours
music playing
arguements
back-firing cars
revving engines
police sirens
no peace
endless
turn into another street
off this road
into another
down this street
into another
round this roundabout
into another
through these traffic lights
into another
down this sliproad
into another
and another
and another
houses and houses and houses
claustrophobic big city
confusing
disorienting
bewildering
where am I
which way do I go
am I in the right lane
am I on the right road?
Big city
Not my city
Not my village
Not me
No!
