City of Thoughts

City of Thoughts��

By Dermott Hayes

In my mind

the world is

a City of Thoughts

where I can wander

undisturbed,

window shop

in a world of words,

sightsee cityscapes

of thoughtful wonder,

feast in restaurants

of Epicurian splendour

and drink in bars

with bottomless glasses,

wine that is the nectar

of Creation

But no- one talks

no-one listens

nobody sees

the thoughtful pavements,

or wanders

with me

in the avenues of wonder,

like the blind poet

singing songs

for the deaf
