The buildings gleam,
Steel and glass fingers on a robotic hand.
The skyline says hello,
Welcome to this part of the world that we have built,
We claim this land for you.
The human urge:
Let’s put a tower here,
And build it higher and higher
So that we can see and be seen.
Oooh, loving this. I am delighted to see your expanding source of inspiration. And, this poem in particular has touched a nerve. Architecture as a means of visibility and attempting to be seen by some unknown other.
