Playing Tourist

I want to explore
the city
resting beside me
let my fingers
peel back the skyline
and find the stars
dazzling smiles
twinkling in storefronts
and small cafes
to find the art
in graffiti tagging doorways
let my eyes dance
waltz with local art and poetry
I want to renew
the city
resting beside me
find places hiding
in back pockets
and thin street
lines upon maps, swaying
devouring new music
until I am blooming
in experience
I want to explore
the city
resting beside me
