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.
After climbing more than 500 stairs to get to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral, I couldn't believe how big London was. There is no picturesque skyline like in NYC and most other cities, because this city never ends. It stretches for miles and miles and miles and miles and there are very few sky scrapers.
ReplyDeleteLooking at it from above, it really reminded me of a lego board.
