Human Hand

Don't tell me the city isn't beautiful,
of course it is not.
It was us who made it,
who laid every single brick.
Look at the sidewalk pattern,
someone swapped the coloured stones.
On the telephone line hangs a pair of shoes.
Have you seen how the subway steps
are worn down in the middle?
Every peeling sticker on the streetlight
was placed there by human hand.
