360 Perspective
The city is a conglomerate
Of clashing wills and common interests
That intersect to pave out
A road spilling in all direction
Like the spokes of a wheel
The rays of a sun
Running anything but parallel to each other
They repel to attract diversity
Refracted in the aqueous humour of our eyes
In love
At odds
Tiptoeing the edge of a stranger's vision
Climbing up the height of the sky in staggered steps
To somewhere, up there
Where the sky above holds infinite space
For each pair of eyes to look up and see something different
In the unanimous blue.
The line about refraction in the aqueous humour is more poetic than scientific. I mean technically the aqueous humour is water, and water refracts light....but refraction as described in the poem has nothing to do with how our eyes function to give us vision. Just wanted to make that clear. I like how the line sounds though.
