neurosismancerthe fuse was lit so long ago
that one might think
the inevitable will never come
these teetering structures
top heavy towers of hubris
have loomed above the horizon
bathing us in their shadows
for as long as we have known memory
still something deep within stirs
with primal dreams of a time before
in narrow spaces where the light
slips through the gaps between
and new life blooms
a rosebush slowly cracking concrete
with thick woody roots
something will give in time
the spark is still lit
so we wait with frustrated patience
as it travels to its fate
that one might think
the inevitable will never come
these teetering structures
top heavy towers of hubris
have loomed above the horizon
bathing us in their shadows
for as long as we have known memory
still something deep within stirs
with primal dreams of a time before
in narrow spaces where the light
slips through the gaps between
and new life blooms
a rosebush slowly cracking concrete
with thick woody roots
something will give in time
the spark is still lit
so we wait with frustrated patience
as it travels to its fate
