The City Poem by Barry Middleton

The City



Great slabs
are laid into her maw
like ribbons of death
tied neatly with a concrete bow.
She ruminates on robot wheels,
humanity reduced to steel.
Within her entrails the slow
mutation of a nation breeds.
Is this the unction of man's pity?
The obesity of a city.
