rivers of metal
unable to flow
trapped
by sheer volume
in gorges of girded concrete
fingers drumming
frustrated heartbeats
on immobilised steering wheels
imprisoned
impotent
feeling the passage of
time that doesn’t wait

rivers of metal
unable to flow
trapped
by sheer volume
in gorges of girded concrete
fingers drumming
frustrated heartbeats
on immobilised steering wheels
imprisoned
impotent
feeling the passage of
time that doesn’t wait
