I Could Be Anywhere

Maroon coffee cups
Bodies sleeping rough
A stream of urine
meanders the banks.

A spark of optimism and thirst
Cannot last - always diverts.

Scratch card hopes
Energy drinks burn out
Quick, Bright, Dim
How could we lose him?
Settle for never finding.

And office block lights
are now the stars
Clocking off the sunsets
This is as good as it gets.

I could be anywhere.  (it seems)
