Cityscapes

Impressive 
behemoths
iconic eyefuls 
clutter its
cortex that
is of the 
manmade
plateau as
it rises from
end to end
sloping in 
its outstretched 
suburbia that
is hunkered
down as its 
supportive 
role model
surrounding 
the panoramic 
scope of its 
hub, the 
lifeline both as 
survivors in their
own respective 
appearances, 
branching 
outwardly made 
up of smaller 
towns and 
villages of 
cul-de-sacs, 
mom & pop stores, 
schools, and 
playgrounds 
that sorts out 
as a piece of 
a miniature 
Americana 
being its 
salvation 
from a workday
to a night play
a microcosm
of endless
tearing down
and building
up in this
city of lights
a metro-cosmos
that never sleeps
amidst tomorrow
eyes  . . .
