This happens a lot. But I finally took the time to type it

Those fabulous twenty-somethings that moved to the city to make it big

dancing down dark alleyways,

covered in glitter and grime and godknowswhatelse.

They collect antiques and burn soy candles that

drip

drip

drip

on to stainless steel tables next to their laptops.

Always choosing the old to make it new,

keeping it classic to keep it cool.

The press will say

So much joie de vivre, so much energy and passion,

The headlines will read

NEXTBIGTHING: This year's ingenues and parvenues

You find them all over,

all always alive,

all always alight

burning up the city with

the parties, the noise, the music, the smeared lipstick, and sterling pound coins.

East, West, South

London will follow them wherever they go.

I love my job

they will tell and talk and turn 'round and 'round

till

time

forgets

and those who follow

will remember why they came to London.

I read poetry and do not write it. I am good at nothing- little more.
