The Streets At Dawn

Walking towards the subway
On a Saturday dawn,
The streets belong
To the pedestrians.

The free spirits,
The kids who wake up
Way too early to
Get to somewhere
That they'll be
For way too long.

But I saw plenty of
People on the streets
This morning.

People maybe on their way home,
People heading to Long Island
Like I was.
People just riding the subway.
Who knows why they were there.

But the important is:
There were no cars.
The streets belonged to us.
