Carbuncle City From My Window
Erotic gherkin, looming in the dusk
How much I long to strip away your rind
And leave naught but a fleeting scent of musk
That lingers in the canyons of the mind
The City skyline's shrouded now in mist
Your outline blurred despite your glowing tip
I wonder, how could anyone resist
This target for bazooka marksmanship
Thou hideous hall, with insides turned to out
With walls turned windows, edge-rules turned to curves
Designer's sanity must surely be in doubt
And yet the reputation he deserves
As wobbly as the bridges he creates
On which no sane man would entrust his life
Eludes him, leaving us to curse the Fates
And all who seed our skylines with such strife
