The City

The City by

Synopsis:

The slippery nature of the city as a semiotic.

Book Excerpt:

The City

The city squeezed up, boiling

The city running

Then stretched out like a samurai ready to die

Gang-for-gang, and days of endless nights

The city crawling now

Vomiting its many

Colours

Sounds

Odours

The city reaching out

Lustily

Wanting to caress the sky

The city in the city

Rising falling rising…

desperately

new-yorking

parising

londoning

The city full because empty

the city of the day, its veins in vain

the city of the night, its arteries at risk

and the running chaos

the city never sitting idle

beside a new idea
