Boxes

The boxes were small on plinths,

Not many but never distinct;

Quest to touch sky via concrete,

Erected in disarray, not in discrete.

 

What’s small could’ve been built,

And layered never but adjacent;

Had any land lost been nurtured,

Concrete too amended with nature.

 

Boxes were extortionate, less sighted,

In square feet or meter at most, heightened;

No trees beside, no plants or crops,

Plinths too ain’t touched skies in droughts.

 

Where all thoughts originated & ended,

Confined, followed what’s trending;

Higher lower lowest, big or small,

But uncertain when uncertainty fall.
