the squiggly bits

earth
  well-trained
  into symmetrical blocks
       of man's architectural imagination
       perfectly
       esthetically placed

people
scurry
  in and out
  round and about
  like ants

at the bottom
  we found
   some green
      hidden amongst the ruins
forgotten
run down
  on the edge
  in the middle
  it lies
       out of symmetry
continuous
broken
 shades of green and grey
  as the tiny squiggly bits of life
compete
in this smallest of spaces
​   we call home
