Family

The lights of night 
in the city and 
its sounds are like 
two attention starved brothers 
one the lights quiet 
calm and studious while 
the other the sounds
are raucous bold and 
defiant the sounds requiring
immediate attention while the 
lights tend to be 
satisfied by themselves the 
sounds only increase with 
age taunting howling as
the day grows hotter 
while the lights politely 
give way to the 
sun and finally disappear
