~
an eyes-wide immensity
humble manoeuvring
white shapeless continents
drifting gracefully peacefully
high across the panorama,
here rush-hour growls
a raucous heartbeat
of complex misguided humanity
there is blue,
languorous, serene
here is grey earnest,
mechanical harsh,
I want to be there,
I want to a serene
ghost-like vapour
breathing gently down
upon the machinations of man
to breathe a whisper
a long exhale to slow
to pause the pointless vigour
