She is a beautiful city who is
comfortable with herself.
A proper lady, she is polite
and willing to serve with all her heart.
In shyness, she keeps to herself
while she longs for a connection,
but connection is seldom found.
So she has built faster transportation
and quicker networks, keeping people
moving, but not always closer.
Diligent and hard-working
she silently works without complaining
but her bright lights and clanging jingles
testify small attempts at 'kicking back'.
Conscientious and prudent,
she respects the values of her elders
but she does not let that stop her
from experimenting with the new.
This is a beautiful city who is
comfortable with herself.
A proper lady, she is polite,
and though she can smile,
maybe one day,
she'll remember
how to laugh.
