Human architecture
has yet to surpass
the Creator's natural splendor
yet we strive for wonder
in our construction
not in worship
or in service
to our governance
but lauded
Capital
despite the, perhaps,
perverse intention
the vaulted high-rises
that surround me
on my commute-
the mirror sheen
and stolid, austere
grace of these
monuments to labor
produce an awe
and peace
not equal
to the harmony of nature
but sometimes
close
reminding me
of my small part
in the churning beauty
of humanity's ambition.
