St. Paul's Cathedral Dome

The view from the top
    is foggy and grey because
the buildings and buses
    are dusted with rain drops.
The view from the top
    goes on for miles because
this dome balcony
    is the tallest in the city.
The view from the top
    reveals city secrets because
nothing can hide
    from the eyes of God.


Building after building    it stretches for miles,
      concrete only interrupted
by one large snaking river.


The gridded city is home to millions of strangers
      who might as well be plastic figures
living on the grid of a young boy's lego board.
