thoughts rush like untamed taxis
swerving fast through crowded streets
horns blaring in endless confusion
no red light can stop their flow
neon signs flash endless reminders
of dreams delayed and tasks forgotten
buildings rise tall with heavy emotions
casting shadows on fleeting moments
everyone here is going somewhere
yet no one knows where to go
the sidewalks ache under footsteps
of worry pacing back and forth
i long for a silent park bench
in the center of this chaos
but even the trees hum endlessly
their leaves whispering to my fears
