3AM At 2PM

no moon to rise

no sun to set,

bonsai trees

eucalyptus leaves

descending,

turnstiles click

tech-heads, 

thumbs 

pressed 

to screens,

shuffle between 

useless applications,

precipitations reading 97%,

there’s a turbulent sky

over Shanghai

nobody cares 

they all just stare 

at anime on retro

television sets
