darkest light

skyscrapers cut into my evening, making everything seem like christmas. lights strung out across my sky and someone could confuse this time with noon day. a peeking light exposing everything from it's darkness. street lights flicker on and i can't help but wonder who else is alarmed that they don't all flicker at the same time. it's a movie illusion brought to you by the big screen, that i've never seen actually happen aloud. i enjoy that moment when the street light overhead taps on and almost strikes you in the head and makes everything a little lighter too bear. the click of heels on the yellow beams makes everything real. and the buildings above casting shadows around you makes it like a midnight theme park you want to explore. lights and buildings as bright as candy and just as hot as the sun brightening a world of such darkness within it's own personal darkness.
