neon

the city is
not
all[ways] skyscrapers
and neon lights
money embedded in
every window

remind me
that there is still
dirt under my feet
scum that give each other names
and work for minimum wage

there is rhythm
in the lower class
even if there is
no glory

your efforts live on
in elevator systems
and stoplights
telling me
when i should
take a break
