Mindstir Manhattan

 

all the stunting skyscrapers sheer
all the prowling sliding walkways connect
the spiralled gabled gaps between intersect
never lift up
never lift up
take another leap of faith and logic
mindstir manhattan..

all the bowled numbing constructions
to-and-fro all the giant crane charioteers 
the compressed polymers bellow and boulder
crooked straight lines
crooked straight lines
skate around all the rabbit-hole shadows
mindstir manhattan..

nature abhors a vacuum
so let us flash-mob zero-gravity
celebrate losing our nature
mindstir manhattan..

neath the corked capstones
balconies with rattlesnake nets
the cactus roof-gardens beckon
mindstir manhattan..

strange the wilted sky diminished by sun-flecks
mezzanine murmurations
infatuate stained eyes sealed air imbibes
mindstir manhattan..

a certain destiny stirs the sails the melting
the shedding skin of serpents the ever-falling velvet
the quenching manna
mindstir manhattan..

where fear-weavers elevate the deadened alive
inversion escalators the ushered ride to earth-core sunrises
every single time
mindstir manhattan..

the misery index power windows buy buy buy
station-to-station tectonic plates levitate landslides
distractions tantalise infantilise
mindstir manhattan..

divide up-down-sideways to the nth degree
thought-bomb surgeons sever the soul purposely
the mindless songs march on
mindstir manhattan..

mindstir manhattan..
