Howard County Library
The City

The moon rises over a tall skyline

Not of trees, but of buildings

Not of hills

But of apartments

Lights flood the streets with artificial luminance

The air is filled with car exhaust, and the screech of tires, and the roar of engines

Millions of people walk the streets

Live in the buildings

And they call it a city…
