City Lights

I’d walked down the street many times

in both day time and night time

and not noticed them.

I’d driven down there many times

in both day time and night time

and not noticed them.

But something seen so often may become unseen

without a new perspective,

a new dimension.

And tonight I climbed higher

to see the street from above.

A mosaic lay below me, 

a city of squares.

Squares,

where there

were no squares

before.

Squares of light

projected

like an art installation,

broken and fragmented

making the ordinary

into extraordinary.
