Under Sodium Lights

We're learning about poetry now. I'd just like to get one more in before this too is stripped of its mystery.

Let's take a walk together,
you and I
Along these city streets
Under sodium lights

It's cold now, more than before
I'm not sure
Mirages can exist in these conditions
But here you are

It's one paradox too many
I must confess
to be an artist in this grand city
I guess you've got it figured out

And I'm tired now
And I'm stumbling now
And I'm crisscrossing these sidewalks
Moving from shadow to shadow

And it's intoxicating, spilling from street lamps
and from the sticky notes left on your fridge
I didn't know it could get dark in these conditions
and these sodium lights are flickering and out of existence

So come with me,
and well flicker in and out of existence all night
we'll transverse this great expanse
lit by a sea of sodium lights.
