ben machetes his way through life

Tomorrow I'm leaving the town that can't sleep,
the town the smells different every five feet,
the town that thinks vertically,
the town where you can cross the street even when it says to not cross,
the town where you can meet everyone,
the town where everyone doesn't wait to know you,
the town that is as empty as it is full
the town that gives you dreams and shows you nightmares,
the town that inspires you to give up,
the town that encourages you fail,
the town that right before you die something good happens,
the town where something good means something big,
the town where big things happen to small people,
the town where small people come to leave small places,
the town where you learn to trust yourself,
the town where you can learn to be alone,
the town where you see things happen and then disappear,
the big apple.
