Rocked that Casbah

For just one night
we owned this city
burnt down the bridges with strides of pride
licked the sap off rooftop ladders
careened through the streets like nothing else mattered
Especially northward, we captured the night
Every brick, every building, every bum
within our sight
was a conquered trapeze
that we walked delicately
and then wrapped around our pinky
for later use
Oh, we felt the abuse the streetlights
all felt
when we commanded them to change
for our crossing
Left right up and backward we were bossing
the bridge to move for us
we knew by morning it was the
last they'd all adore us
sun rose, we crept home
tucked our feats in tight
remembering forever what we lived
that night
