City... thoughts

People walked past hurriedly
as I stood watching them idly.

Engrossed in a mad race,
the rate they move
I could not care to pace.

Buses and cars whizzed by
as the day goes by.
The sun came to say goodbye;
automatically, people packed
for the night.

The offices quickly emptied,
as twilight crept upon silently.
Lamp-posts lit up
on time,
guards went around
locking offices tight.

One day has passed
and it seemed so fast.
It is time again
for me
to catch my bus.
