Neon lights reflect again and again,
In the puddles and streams
As the rain pours heavy
In that unfinished city.
Great Jupiter blots out the sky;
So imminent, yet silent.
Ever watching the endless construction;
Of its infant moons
Ganymede is all but consumed
In towers and scaffolds,
Endless looping highways,
And defunct machinery.
In the eyes of Jupiter
Has it been but a moment,
But to the denizens of that place,
Their reign is endless.
Their ancient cities and facilities
Devour everything in their path
And in that slow process,
Have become a new entity all together.
One not entirely controllable.
A system and network of its own
That desires something beyond sight,
Something its creators lost long ago.
