To nest among the titans
Highbrow and unaffected
Sleek garbed and cool
Unfazed by the dealings of rugged fools

I seek
The highest of ground
Paramount metropolis!
Is where I long to be!
Reveling among the smoky misfits
Sloshed and stirred within the finest Ritz

Hunger resurrects
Its primal ills
Rank evils garbed in murderous cloth
A stern squeeze, for the opulent loft

Still I pry for what I must
To scale lofty remedies
That quell the beasts of inner wariness
All for the empty scene, to which we all stride
The high robust glimmer we’re fated to abide
