these streets will make you feel brand new, the lights will inspire you

5:30am
a cold neutral rain is afalling
the vacant streets glistened with a reflective pride
as if being cleansed for the dawn of a new day
already people were out and about
the occasional worker solemnly shuffling by

what a night
another year, another candle on the cake
another reminder of the cruel passing of time and the impossible reality of things
so what now
now what
you girls must have sang 'happy birthday' at least four times in succession
'lets hear it for nuuu yorrkkk.....' was tops
t'was all good fun
and laughs
and in-betweens.

to
renewal
growth
beauty
insanity
freedom
happiness
appreciation
wisdom
love
youth
pride
chance
& change

oh, and health of course!

i am greedy, i know.
but its my birthday and i am milkin it.
cheers
