Cities pretend to sleep.
They fool us.
Eyes close.
Darkness settles.
In the deep of the night,
a city is like a kindergartener during nap time -
fidgety and mischievous.
When Tokyo's trains shut down at midnight,
far from hibernating in suspended animation,
the city traps people in a dimension
that most people never see -
a headachy, eye-rubbing,
fuzzy-minded
land of waking dreams.
