Cold Death Ghost

I thought I was going to find beauty
but I was surprised at almost every turn.
I couldn't believe how new it is.

I imagined there would be lots of bicycles
but what I saw was totally state-of-the-art,
urban sprawl in a state of flux,

death a socialist economy
that just goes absolutely everywhere.
A deplorable set of events.
