Another Dawn. The Manhattan Bridge. New York City.

You gripped my hands when you told me about this time: a time when cities were rooted to the earth.

Under another dawn’s sky, New York City’s structures reached up like hands grasping at too-far-away stars.

Bridges stretched out like rapidly deteriorating veins in an urban body destined for decay: remnants from a time when it was a feat just to cross over water with nothing but clumsy fossil-fueled vehicles, when our imaginations were limited by a devotion to the ground below.

And I squinted, trying to imagine life bound to the ground with only passing curiosity to lead the eyes to the skies.

In another dawn, would I have looked up at these same structures with some sort of wonder?

This is an ongoing side project: surreal future-dystopian (and utopian) cityscapes incorporating recognizable architecture and landscapes: part of a larger series that I am imagining that takes place in the future.
