Hello New York

The air is thick and musky

I can hardly breath 
I gasp for air but I choke on smoke 
 
I can hardly see the sky above me.
I look up but see nothing but pieces of the blue in between the buildings 
Is it possible I already forgot what you look like? 
 
I look around for the color green and see it struggling to break free in the hard concrete.
 
I try to listen for peace but hear i nothing but horns honking and screams in the street.
 
I'm in a city that never sleeps yet I have never felt more alone. 
 
Hello New York City, please don't devour me.
