Lost in Time
Delia School of Canada, Kang , Bosun - 14
The clock chimes
A kid lost in time
Walks alone the street
Occasionally skipping to the beat
People busily walking around
Workers blankly staring at the ground
Riding their bicycles to work
The kid flees away from the light to the murk
The buildings stand as tall as my Dad
The hubbub of the city turns up just a tad
Dancing along to the urban symphony
The kid is extraordinary
The sky flames up with the setting sun
Neon lights turn on one by one.
