PLACES WE’VE NEVER BEEN

Whose eyes saw this?

What fake author or copyright theft?

Whose feet followed this path

or worthy hands constructed?

Was it a drone, a satellite,

an AI fantasia

or fairy-land envisioned?

A dream of otherworlds,

clumsy imaginings

or synaesthesic potentials?

Never did I see such tidy paving, 

tho’ these cloud-wrack vistas

of sunsets galore 

are familiar to our frequent flyers generation

 besides super-zoom devices.

No left-over rubble at all?

No vestige of human work?

Ah me!

Seeing is not believing, anymore.
