This is not
what I would call
a pretty city
not at all.
Although I wonder
at my eyes
if they should look
and then surmise
That such a nest
of industry
is truly beautiful
to me.
But that they do
once in a while,
forces assumptions
onto trial.
I guess that sounds
a little right-
art moves forward
like planes for flight
And sixties buildings
are outdated.
besides, static
is overrated.
So this city
is not awful
because it is
industrial.
You're not old enough
to be pretty,
and not young enough
either, city.
