Box City
I went to London
and saw, inside this city of boxes,
a city-in-a-box,
and then the remnants of another
unimaginably old.
And here, I came across another box
blown open
with plants instead of pillars
and inside another box
a box embossed - to deify Retail.
A feckless god, that one, subject to whims
and the vagaries of the tide.
Big Ben in the Houses of Parliament |
and saw, inside this city of boxes,
London Cityscape |
a city-in-a-box,
Imaginary City by Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin at Tate Modern |
and then the remnants of another
Trading seals from the Indus at the British Museum |
unimaginably old.
Fertility statues from the Ancient Indus at the British Museum |
And here, I came across another box
Remaining tower of Christchurch Greyfriars designed by Christopher Wren 1677 |
blown open
Remains of the nave of Christchurch Greyfriars - bombed in world War 2 |
with plants instead of pillars
Garden of Christchurch Greyfriars |
and inside another box
Lift from Selfridge's store now in City of London Museum |
a box embossed - to deify Retail.
Queenhithe - last remaining Anglo-Saxon dock on the Thames in the city of London |
A feckless god, that one, subject to whims
View from Queenhithe to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern |
and the vagaries of the tide.
