City Scenes V: Loveliness In Unexpected Places

wall flower 


is relevance 
a necessity 
for aggrievance 
of ugliness? 


can we place
ourselves in 
emptiness and 
blossom for the 
ages, 


or for even 
a passing 
glance?

    rick - the city you live in is an astonishing collection of beautiful moments and places and people. i'll be sharing some of the pics i took as we flew through. for now though - the poem - asks some burning questions of place and purpose. steven
