One Sky Scrapper After Another Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

One Sky Scrapper After Another

Rating: 5.0


One sky scrapper after another
Is crushed while this creature
Runs amuck in the city

It stands about 110 meters tall
Fifty thousand tons weighs upward
No less than 15 meters long footprint

Charging speed of 470 kilo meters an hour
It was born a mutant dinosaur-like monster
As the result of repeated nuclear experiments

(dedicated to a great poet, Brad Leithauser)
