"Down here"
"on empty avenues at 2 am"
"where sleep is impossible"
"and the meter is always running"
"every siren is for you"
"stretching out "
"into blackness"
"of so many lost "
"tomorrows"
"here where all"
"the young lions"
"eat up the sidewalks"
"with fierce "
"devouring strides"
"and the wolves regroup"
"before making their way"
"uptown once again"
"leaping from lane to lane"
"at every outstretched arm"
"yellow fur gleaming"
"trying to fill an insatiable"
"emptiness inside"
"some strange kinship"
"in our parallel solitudes"
"time will not be denied"
"the only solution"
"is to keep moving."
