REVIEW
(Where in the world) This poem seems to be exploring the idea of living in a diverse, urban environment, where people from different cultures and backgrounds come together and share their stories and experiences. The first line poses the question of whether it's possible to live in a big city, suggesting that there may be challenges and trade-offs associated with urban living. The second line suggests that one of the benefits of living in a big city is the ability to enjoy food from different cultures, which can be a way to experience new flavors and broaden one's horizons. The third line mentions telling time both analog and digital, which could be a metaphor for the different ways in which people experience and perceive the world around them. The fourth line celebrates the beauty of summertime flowers, suggesting that even in the midst of urban hustle and bustle, there can be moments of natural beauty and wonder. The fifth and sixth lines suggest a sense of curiosity and intrigue about the lives of others, as the speaker wonders what might be happening behind closed window shades and imagines the stories and artwork that might be taking place in the rooms of nearby buildings. The seventh and eighth lines suggest that there is a desire to share one's own stories and experiences, whether through writing or speaking, and a hope that others will be interested in hearing them.
