A million sets of eyes peering out at me,
I look around wondering which ones are yours.
Feet tapping rapidly against the concrete road,
Quick, swift, unfamiliar movements.
Cars darting along like arrows,
The sizzling smells of delicious foods flood the busy streets.
Casinos, pubs, nightclubs; bright lights which catch the eye,
That’s Shanghai City for you.
Night is when all the people come out,
Thousands, millions of faces.
And I’m just one person.
Magnificent buildings stretch right out into the sky,
The lights flicker on and off like stars blinking their eyes.
I look up at the tallest building and wonder,
If I climbed to the top if I could lick the clouds.
Maybe they’ll taste just like candyfloss.
