CITY LIFE
CITY LIFE
hub of wheeling dealing
life blood rushing gushing
pumping breathing
filthy fumes that clot the air
radiation infiltration
contamination penetration
permeation
vaccines to overtake
plague pandemic pestilence
outbreak

nice. we are resonating a bit today…you capture well the grit that can be city life…
I noticed that too, Brian.
You haven’t got a single wasted word in there, adee, taut. Nice!
Ah, thank you Cindy, so much!
I get the feeling you aren’t too fond of cities at the moment!
I think they are very unhealthy places, Col, with all sorts of pollution.
Beautiful, Denise.
I avoid cities . . . like the plague!
I lived within an hour of NYC for most of my childhood and rarely went in ~ too much hustle and bustle for me.
I can’t stand the crowds, Nancy, and the noise sometimes, plus the exhaust fumes…
We are country people too, Denise.
Not shoppers at all!
Nice use of words, very descriptive and concise
John
Oh give me the country any day too, John. At least this place is a small oasis in the city so it’s not so bad.
Not a city girl, then, Denise! We’re off to see those peregrines in London tomorrow…
Not any longer, Kate. Once I experienced farm life, that was it for me. Enjoy your trip to London and hope the peregrines make their appearance.
I hate cities too, and avoid them like the plague! Give me the countryside any day. You captured city life exactly Denise!
I can understand some people preferring the throb, hubbub and vibe of the city. I did too when I moved up here, but it was short-lived… Rushing through life is not for me, Barb.
This is gritty and real. It is what city life is. The wheeling and dealing image is a great one. One of your best!
Thanks, Selma.
I love cities as much as I love the peace of the country, Adeeyoyo, but they both have their dark sides and you have captured the cities’ and their dirty energy adeptly here
I think that I’ve reached the stage where country life appeals to me more, Bb. When I was younger I probably would have been bored to tears, but now I’ve grown to be happy in myself.
