Mountains of steel and glass,

Lashing out into the night sky,

A field of concrete expansions,

Pointing up high,

Over the horizon.

Electric pulse streaking

Down the line,

Scattered stars dancing

Across the asphalt,

A neon galaxy of

Radiant lights,

Shining, Streaming

So vast, so long,

A bewildering magnificence

That defies gravity and darkness.

~

I stare out the window,

Eighty stories high,

And behold the awesome

Power of ultra-human construction.

Beautiful and terrifying,

Bright and foreboding,

This second nature

That we all pay homage to.
