Late night license, midnight, after
Bars still open, people drinking,
Smoking in streets, glasses clinking
Music playing, distant laughter
Then gardens and the parks grow dark
The streets just give a gentle hum
But in brains our thoughts still churning
Like bright light of fire burning
Poets writing, speakers typing
Artists drawing, sleepers snoring
Toilets flushing, wakers creeping
Football singing, raindrops falling
Birds are singing, doorbells ringing
Alarms buzzing, foxes and bats
Spiders and flies, mice and rats
Buses rumbling, children calling
Traffic hooting, helicopters
Overhead is a police plane
Taps are dripping, clocks are ticking,
Radio pop songs play again.
Puddles glisten, if you listen
You can hear your beating heart
Old leaves dying, new babes crying
But every day's a great new start.
