The journey ends before it finishes

or at least where we thought it would go.

 

That progress means history is concrete

slowly crumbling to total ownership

(Where it says this, I don’t know)

 

How these shells became economy

then villages, then industry.

Funny how that works.

 

Now the crumbling part,

shells line the basements

crowds clamour outside 

for the concrete to fall.
