A city radiates something special as its inhabitants sleep.

 

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.
