PAD 4 30

Denver

When I moved to Denver
the first thing I noticed was the noise:
sirens sounding, horns honking,
voices of the young, old, busy, crazy, homeless.

Next, I discovered a lot to do:
live shows, shopping, cool classes,
restaurants—not just places to eat,
but experiences to savor and remember.

Colfax Avenue always pulsed nearby,
and if you kept to your own set of
post office, library, school, church and mall
you weren’t overwhelmed by the city’s size.

Nearly three million people
bustled about like buzzing bees,
dreaming of sweet escapes
to the mountains for the weekend.
