Skyscraper

Looking up at the mighty skyscraper I feel queasy at this colossus Goliath Human made wonder of steel and glass Commanding presence that dares to pierce the underbelly of the heavens On her top floors the mass of people below must appear as tiny ants scuttling along Interacting in social norms to come and to go under her skirt's shade Modern power of strength and height soaring tall with a sway of confidence Marvel at the skyline of a man made mountain range with peaks of spirals mocking each other to proclaim whose reach is highest Tower of Babel meet your shortcomings Each skyscraper a city within itself I turn my head down to the ground shuffling my feet forward and blending into the mass of tiny human ants at the soles of these mighty giants.
