anything posing as a poem that includes 'asphalt jungle' is... not a good song. in fact i think this only makes sense in couplets rather than stanzas.

Got lost in a marble staircase

Morphed into an asphalt jungle

Now I'm with like-minded creatures

Tearing up the book

Disillusioned, disenchanted

The city I decamped

Left without a woman or a dime

Where I was going I'd get plenty of mine

I slept on stars under roofs

Wrote memoirs at public libraries

Spent a lot of time getting out of the squeeze

Now I'm where I belong amidst the trees
