for each city, there are divisions
there are districts, split into neighborhoods
split into blocks, split into houses
split into smaller cities that exist on microscopic
and intangible scales
the scales are the lives and the threads connecting
for each city, there are divisions
the divisions are each thought and word said in passing
there are districts, split into neighborhoods
the neighborhoods are each sentence and song resting on an outstretched tongue
while large roads adorned with shops break apart the lives and threads
split into blocks, split into houses
the cities that live on backs and grey matter
split into smaller cities that exist on microscopic
and the fleeting connection of passers-by in the street
and intangible scales
the scales protect the soft, protean core
