NYC, in The Dark

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Thursday, August 14, 2003

Imagine…

the enormous strain upon infrastructures
of enormously-grown cities…

the massive migration of the masses to fill
the massive spaces of growing tall…

the hollowed halls of ant-ed undergrounds
with hollow balls of piped-in tunnels…

the millions of people stranded by energy-less
millions of conduits that are dead…

the sound of echoing feet properly proceeding
to re-sounding echoes of the ceased…

the darkness that rules in the end is the
darkness that ruled in the beginning…

the technology written in Sci-Fi books is the
beginning technology of the future damned…

imagine, New York City

in the Dark.

are you still in the dark? my parents in ohio were for about three hours, but their power is back, fortunately. that would be so scary! i was in the dark on monday; we had some storms roll through burleson, texas, and the power to our apartments was out for about 3 hours. but i wasn't home; i was at work, waiting out the storm, and work lost power for about 1/2 hour! YIKES! (((HUGS))) and love, your friend in texas, karen lynn. good write, by the by! :D

imagine being in it
well believe it or not millions of people
behave properly,

this has been my largest block out, made it though the 1965 one as well (the original Block Out)
