Out of sorts At least I am out New sort of me In a new part of town While the same old doubts Whip about None of this was here before Not that I knew of It certainly did not Spring forth Out of the blue It just feels that way Unplanned Yet inevitable Steel and glass monoliths Shatter and break The tarmac What was Once a barren streetscape Neglected opportunity Now is a grand opening From desolate To prescient A megalopolis Of mindfulness That reflects back The question What do you want These vessels To be Window dressings All this Brand newness An exercise Is not an exorcism Just A rebranding Of emptiness
