CITIES LARGE AND SMALL

 

Cities large and small

Gathering places

Hurry up

Places to go

People to see

 

Everything by the clock

Urban sprawl

You must fly over

To see it all

 

I wonder

It is no place for animals

It does not support life

It robs us of our humanity

 

Crazy making

Hustle bustle

Never ending

Like a great ant mound

Structure for termites

 

Intersections

A giant grid

Hold on

Don’t give up

 

The light turns red

Stay on the sidewalk

No place to roam

The sun sets on glass and steel
