Cursive Bootfall

“A community is an alibi for the failure of individual love.” –Leonard Cohen

I am an uninhabited city,
not a wilderness
but a made place yet to be filled with people:
a city of tomorrow, as has always been planned.
The site was cleared
here in the jungle
just so all these futuristic buildings
could hold the silverskinned and their jet cars.
But only bright parrots
trill from the upper storeys,
and monkeys gallop down the esplanade,
while sagging cartons spawn at the feet of the saviour.

(1983)
