in form

will i ever know another city 
          i doubt it: it is enough to look 

up and know the one i am in
          how the people know me but 

cannot name me, how i may 
          pass a friend or two on the 

aged cobblestones towards
          our work benches where we 

instead of widgets cast demons 
          this city that i never escaped

is mine, visit if you care and we 
          can walk the river never fearing 

that we will drown or be ever found
