the city dwellers

to get into the high rise
building
in the heart of town,
you have
to park down the hill
by the loading dock.
if there is a spot.
with only four slots
they go quickly.
then you push a button
and a man says, what?
you tell him why you
are here, what apartment
you need to go to.
he asks for your name,
the tag of your car.
at last he buzzes you in.
then you sign a clipboard
with the same information
you already gave.
he points to the elevator,
tells you to put your
mask on and informs you
that you have two hours
before you are towed.
ahhh, the city life.
