Car lights,

Barely any star light,

Rain drops,

Movie props, 

Hollywood,

theaters and clubs,

Voices litter the streets,

A fleet of taxis,

People in fancy dresses holding cocktails and making messes,

I sit alone observing all around me,

Alone and not very friendly,

Rain drip, drip, dripped on my head and down my neck as I looked around,

I then closed my eyes and listened to the sound,

Humming of cars,

Engines rumbling,

Sounds and voices tumbling,

I swear I could hear,

Something else near,

Music of the city...

It's all so very pretty,

The Music In The City

I honestly didn't have any motivation for this, I saw a Pixar Short named "Us" On Disney+ and I focused on their surroundings. It was all very sweet.
