Did You Ever Wonder…
by Alex Grehy

Did you ever wonder why
it’s always breezy
when you walk between
skyscrapers?

Did you ever wonder what made that gale?

Did you ever wonder why
it’s always cool
when you stand in the lea of
skyscrapers?

Did you ever wonder what brought about that chill? 

Did you ever wonder where
the city’s spirits went,
after death from suicide
and accidents? 

Did you ever wonder where they go to haunt?

Ghosts of jumpers fall,
Fall like eternal rain.

Ghosts of workers rush,
rush like eternal wind.

Ghosts splash on the sidewalks,
Rise and start again. 

Did you ever wonder?

You will now.
