Metropolis Mind

My mind is city

With journeying words,

Syllables, letters, numbers,

Facts, acting as passerbys,

Departing as swiftly

As they arrive.                   

However,

A few special words,

Syllables, letters, numbers,

Facts take up permanent residence

In my little metropolis,

Planting themselves

There forever.

Then of course,

There are those words,

Syllables, letters, numbers,

Facts which zoom on by, leaving

Absolutely no evidence

That they had ever

Been there.
