A city radiates something special as its inhabitants sleep.
The sounds of morning alarms ring out from
the overpriced houses lining
the small streets of a charming city.
A city that takes a deep breath
every morning
before its inhabitants wake up.
A city that quietly says, in a voice that
maybe only dogs can hear,
go on, go ahead
go ahead and just snooze a little longer
and let us early birds enjoy the peace and quiet
hovering over the otherwise empty and quiet streets
for just a few minutes more.
