City Changes

When a change in your surroundings

Makes you mad or discontent,

You might question if the houndings

Of some friends did represent

 

Truths that you were blind to seeing

For your urban love runs deep,

So much so that you hate being

Without noise to help you sleep.

 

Yet when former subway users

Get that “lease a car now!” spark,

Their new autos leave us losers

With no place in which to park.

 

And when bikers meet for riding,

Hogging every single lane,

Central Park is, you’re deciding,

For pedestrians, a pain.

 

Though the city still has magic

And its praises yet are sung,

All these changes feel quite tragic

To New Yorkers not quite young.
