Multi color lights gleam from rooftops

Thick piles of dirty snow are packed on the sidewalks

People can be heard counting down from 10

In a square lit up by screens

In an apartment with the windows cracked open

Underground from the subway

From people walking past

The city was filled with such life

Yet everyone was living a different life

Until the end of the 10 second countdown

Everyone shouted in unison

A dream of mine has always been to experience New York City during the holidays/New Year and writing this poem let me to imagine what it might be like.
