Uprightness [] of city buildings:
we stammer
before any wonder
when nothing from nature fits.

What words? [] What acts
of the built world
where steel stands at attention,
where discovered circles
were considered then discarded.

Vertical exhilaration
excludes the pastoral.

This upright imagined world
pushes the envelope of the void, []
straining cables of light.
