Mammoth dark brick buildings
architecturally portrayed against a cloudy gray sky,
high they tower
above
anything ever conceived of
by our imagination's
eye,
larger than life, I
walk through the maze
of a dream-induced haze;
metaphysical
images
arise, they
rise and they rise
like smoke from the stack,
tops burnt black
from perpetual
chemically induced
exhalations,
now witness an aberration:
panes are cracked,
frames lack
their maximum capacity
for glass;
empty
sockets without eyes,
skulls
that lie
forgotten
in an
asphalt
graveyard.
