SKYLINE

When I look at the skyline I can't help but love it
despite all that is wrong in it and knowing
what a small foreign part I might've might play in it
despite all that is wrong with all that create it
I am in love with the warmth that is left over
and out of necessity made room for by the grey oppressors.
It is entertainment for the alienated creatures
searching for humanity and into glowing boxes
into a stale face and lost in the sunset.
