The skyline I see today is not the skyline and remember
seeing, that city across the water I ached to live in when young now like ragged
teeth biting into the sunrise and sunset orange glinting on the glass and
streets, this isn't even the same city I saw when she still lived here, new
towers rising up out of nowhere, hiding those towers that defined the city for
me as a kid, all of it changing change by some unrecognizable force of nature I
can't reconcile with, a city a landscape with skyline where people like myself
have no place, merely to a admire its beauty from a distance and appreciate
what once was, by memory alone, the new city devouring The Old City until one
vanishes completely and as hard as I try to find it from this side, it is gone
