Everything started to feel like the Hudsucker Proxy
bigger than me
with windows too far away to appreciate the craftsmanship
and skyscrapers
as hollow as they come---
And I was pretty sure that Fritz Lang had something to do with this---
because it was a beautiful mess
staggered in its infinite protrusions
hot off the press
I thought the elevator would have made all the difference---
but all it really did was allow me to run away
desultory in its existence
the ultimate means to an end, right?
This was nothing like the shoebox dioramas they promised me on the carousel
liars
And all I ever really got from any of it---
was a lot of dark, tall shadows
a bunch of lives up for grabs but out of my reach
and some hot air
It is a giant metropolis out there!!!!!!!!
