Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is a
smoking pit. The
whistles shriek.
smokestacks puffing storm clouds at the sky,
armored factories,
brass advertisements screaming from the roadside...
A smouldering city, and yet
the clean white and grey
of the sterile new towers
stretch over the rubble.
The roads weave under
and over each other,
the city below ..
The pit looks deserted.
The size of the city is heavy,
too heavy ~Q notice
the size of a marl.
