#5 (on urban heat island)

at night, walking through a city entirely indoors,
a long hallway, & everything is distributed
for maximum effect in one continuous
effort of effortless, concrete parataxis
so that this street is homogenous.

at each node it intersects two other streets,
and this is a recursive process, continuing
until there is nothing but streets, and all
is perfectly perpendicular, & the landscape is
only the manifestation of a single 90ยบ angle
which we have gladly allowed to multiply,
by feeding it daily labor and stone.

all around this city
even the parks are square.
