Volatile and restive planet,
cities are dispatched like
annoying growths
at the end of a surgeon's scalpel,
civilization's handiwork,
marvels of human engineering,
products of tireless effort
delivered to oblivion
within the fleeting grasp of
passing time.
Humanity is but a transient
miniscule passenger
on this vibrant world,
terribly unconvinced about
our theoretical importance,
order delivered to chaos
one moment to the next.
