Within towers
Constructed from
concrete, steel and glass
Eyes focused on screens
Tracking digitalised data
Ears plugged into headsets
Aircon’s constant hum
Water coolers, coffee, carpets
Elevators, escalators
Artificial lighting
Money in the bank
Outside
Blue sky
Sun as high as it gets
Gentle breeze
Along the Thames
Air to breathe
Goldfinches sing
You choose.
