Now that the sun comes out
I go outside to draw Urban aspects Like buildings They surround me Black squared windows Thin drainpipes Cornices, roof tops It’s all very symmetrical Bricks having straight lines and all Though I cant last more than 3 mins Before I get tired of symmetry Straight Exact ordered blocked shapes Rendering this tiresome I now draw without looking At the paper I scan the buildings With my eye And feel the pen Drift Across the paper I wont look at the page for Perhaps 10 mins And then see what I get An ink sprawl of Urbanity Buildings outlines Seem alive Through their irregularity Lines like live wires! After all Aren’t buildings alive? Imbued with all those stories, Generations overlapped Layers of Tenancy’s And Histories Inhabitants
