Maggot Monotony

MAGGOT MONOTONY on the precipice I survey the sea of stores and casual faceless crowds, I the planet lost in the tide swarming with skulls thrashing the facades restless brows maggots infest the nucleus until the centre shrieks like a sheet in the night, startled by the intense glare that neon signs cast upon blankness and pointless vows © Kim van Breda—29 June 2014

Is this written from the perspective of the moon? Do the people look like maggots from up there? You have me intrigued but you might have to further enlighten me... Oh planet lost in the tide :)
