We thought we'd tamed the dragons.

But they were simply waiting
While watching us methodically
Create an environment
More suited to their needs.

Heated, unpredictable, and
Increasingly hostile.

We never tamed the dragons.
We became them.
Prompted by a painting, River Scene, 1935, by L S Lowry, now hanging in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle.
