city on the hill
steep climbs and steps
endless steps
sloping narrow roads
the natives have adapted
walking
standing
sitting
always leaning to one side
the tourist struggles
to navigate the surrounding walls
and winding path ways
that lead to yet
another shopping mall
before finally getting lost
as it all looks the same.
the waterside
the bog side
is the division this city has
needless to say its wet
as the sky opens
and the deluge
puts both natives
and tourist to shame
moving quickly
over every surface with ease
always moving down
and of course
with a lean to the side.
