missing things

i miss the city, i do today. i miss the lights, the wind, the sounds echoing through the streets. i miss the rooms full of things to put away and the noises in the halls, the elevators. i miss the buildings, the trash on the streets and the safeway two blocks from my apartment. i miss the trolleys picking up and dropping people off at all hours of the day and the smells on the breeze drifting from place to place. i miss the trees and the flowers outside my building and the people that live 24 hours a day and walk everywhere. i miss the city, i do today. for some reason i wonder if it misses me too, though probably not, it is far too busy to notice that I am gone. but i do miss the city, will be back soon, a nice break and then back to the city. i will not miss these things too much longer, for i will be home.
