Jan 2013
Collecting pennies of majesty
putting hands in the after burn
the cobalt blue retro jets
the chop of helicopters flitting
from rooftop to rooftop
beneath a nuclear canopy
missiles in teeth
corporate value sought
within a new urban tranche
new green metropolis
downtown spires reaching to the sky
connected
networks
concrete fabric synapses
connected
by bullets in tubes
cities wilting while
others flower
new streetscape turning on a coin
jaded super heroes lost
spinning
a language familiar yet
foreign
let the people rule
but the money
talk.
