We, the factories,
and here, the mausoleum, the symmetrical people
and their lazy theatre.
The placid chandelier shines pale
over the foyer,
the monotone chimes
sing a flat note.
We, the factories,
the suspension bridge
breaking the wind,
the vernacular of our city.
And resonance?
Last summer
the pool grew thick with algae
while I read dry literature
to impress myself.
Me, the awkward female.
This, the aloofness
that allows this to be.
