The Great City
I was an Adventurer,
a Woman on a Quest
to know the streets to Babylon
Enticed by the Apple,
I pictured myself as some eccentric Annie Hall
attending the World's college campus,
quirky to the bone
I told myself I would not sink
into the cyanide core of that Great City,
but I did not anticipate the one thing
that alters perception beyond Reason:
Love.
