Jagged ice crystals spring from
sweltering sidewalks to form
terrifying towers of power.
Oppressive ice.
Oppressive heat.
Enough spoke, but her voice was drowned
by More's clamoring siren song.
Insatiable appetite.
Insatiable thirst.
Eden has long been forgotten,
relegated to myth and mist.
Man's tribute to self,
to domination,
to war,
to victory over...
Over universe?
Over life?
Over earth's web?
We slew Goliath
and Goliath was us.

This was written as I flew past NYC, just after the Global Sufficiency Summit, held at MIT in Cambridge, MA in April of this year.
