I live in an urban jungle

I hear car engines roar 

through my open window

late at night in the summertime

loud like lions

ferocious in their speed

one block from the police station

do the cops chase them

to stop this nonsense?

probably not unless they crash

which incidentally they have

less than a block from my house

smashed right into Mr M's brick wall

creating a pattern in the wall like an ancient pyramid

quite artistic really

the wall is still unfixed 2 years later

high insurance deductible

I would imagine,

young uninsured driver

drag racing, kid hit the wall, companion car sped away

no one was hurt praise God

and so I wonder late at night in the summertime

would a ferocious lion in nature's jungle be more friendly?

probably not

so it's all good 

in the urban jungle.
