The 365 Project

i stand in the middle
of ten thousand streets
all at once and everywhere
they lead is nowhere each
screaming in concrete
seducing with slick
rainsoaked curves but each
a dead end none to
salvation nor even
to acceptable ruin

ten thousand streets
all at once everywhere
a spiderweb traffic jam of
industrial strength chaos
linear asphalt beauty
a din of scrape and roar
all leading to madness
madness of desire
madness of restlessness
madness of choice
madness of singularity
madness of loss
madness of responsibility
madness of hope
madness of hopelessness
