When new
Proudly reached for heaven
Grew old and 
Became a vacant lot...

If I am to breath may it be of the assumption of you,

Innocent perfection of vibes across the phone line is it you,

If the world is colliding for worst efforts sounds and barrels escape witness

Skyscraper are cloud it by all visions,

The torn and forgotten stand...

I emit pressure from freedom tall my gift given since away with stale sands and truth. because instead methods useful I forget just life is enough, forgive it, I am beyond a careful beginner....

lights swinging
across the town 
a skyscraper view

He made her heart sing for the very first time.
And for someone who once found home in the solitary confinement 
of her cold dark room,
She now found it in his arms.
He had found her broken and demolished, like a house which had met a wrecking...

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...

Skyscraper:

In my dream,
The snow lay round about,
Showing clear signs of melting decay
As if light rain had fallen on it recently,
And my eyes could hardly fail to see 
The head of a dead man,
A brave Ukrainian, 
Murdered there....

Skyscraper: 

The raindrops 
Falling over my bed,
Upon the eaves of my bedroom roof,
Sound like an army of cat paws treading lightly
Lest they disturb some troublesome foe,
When all I can think of
Is the rain....

Walk into the woods

The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Attacked the sky
Making it packed, broken, hurt, scarred
Blocking those lovely clouds and rainbow
The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Captured modernized hearts
Making them a slave inside
From nine to five
The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Formed a towering hazard
To the inquisitive patrolling eyes 
Of...

The skyscraper,
climbs to the sky,
solemn...upright
by human
imitation
God's...
undaunted
The man
feels
absolute Sir of the world...
the skyscraper,
falls from the sky,
as an icon
of concrete,
fallen angel...
from its fall
the vain
human,
proud
still...guilt
the simple
clipboard...
not his
prepotency...!
and arrogance...!...

high rise
get high rays
and wetter 
on wet days
closer 
to aeroplanes
in lanes like cars 
soldiers of concrete
steel feet in wars
in pillars 
like Lot’s wife
or muggers
with sharp knife
hanging in blocks
or flocks 
stabbing the sky...

Long, long ago
in the dense 
warm
rainforest
where our ancestors
swung from treetops
in the canopy,

someone fell -
a slipped grip,
a jammed finger
or caught tail -
down, down
down

they must have caught hold
of a branch
or a vine,
or the hand
of another
of their species,
a friend in a time of need

because two hundred thousand
years later
and...

Have you ever lived in a tall building? Dawn strikes suddenly and irradiates these glass-walled, high-rise rooms. Lisa showed me how quickly the thick windows - if you press your face against them - go from cold to warm in the morning's stark glare.

On the...

We have just agreed on paper:
He is to us all  'A leper'
Still leper with his skyscraper,
No less so with his nice wrapper...

Oh Yes! For him some saved pepper,
Bertram T. Noah cause to caper,
For blokes he'd kept at a distance;
Persons elsewhere 'Revered Substance'
We're all clearly...
