The Designer

Structures in, blocks out;

a paradigm of constructional doubt,

lead and stone, rock and bone;

fragments of matter engraved in stone,

inorganic the linear path;

of buildings stretching from singular depth,

requiem of solid ground, blueprints regression and doubt;

symmetry combines the horizontal substance,

of eloquence and the working man’s cadence;

deranged and abused, obtuse he lit the fuse,

when the seasonal drift destroyed his ruse;

decadent he stood and laughed,

with a pencil the scheme he graphed;

ticking the time, melting the clocks,

hourly sway where entropy sealed the lock.
