Spheres and cubes,
Pipes and tubes
Watches, clocks
Locks and blocks
Jostle, jangle
What a tangle
Harsh vibrations
Weird sensations
Elation, jubilation
Despair and desolation
Connection, intersection
Disconnect, isolation
Pressure to conform
To a jarring norm
Screeching horrid din
Pulsates ugliness within
Objective truths of equations
Subjective lies of relations
Falsehood of our integration
Man's attempt at hibernation
Natural need for liberation
Compelling call for restoration
Time unwinds inside my head
Then it snaps – life's broken thread!

Author Notes
City living, modern architecture and structures, cacophony, tensions, stress, superficial relationships, pressure to conform to modern norms, searching for truth and meaning, desires for withdrawal, need for renewal by nature, time pressures, mortality.
Prompted by two amazing pieces of modern art and a trip to the bustling noisy city.
Not at all my usual style!
