London

Gray buildings standing heavy
yet elegant, sooty yet resolute in purpose

streets filled with people, buses and cars
bikes and motorbikes vying for room

talking, laughing, sirens, cars
noises of the city loud as allowed

the smell of salt and beer and smoke and sweat
rain and warmth and tarmac and wet stone and tourists

silvery and black and a sudden flash of red
brown and tan and a miraculous plot of green

noise and sound and sight and smell
filling the senses until there's only room for the city
