A poetic reading of Marie Watt's photographs by Lloyd Godman

 

Cities without a wheel

Centrifugal forces shift our position
move us from place to place
one position to another
bring goods -  services  - people to distant places
change our attitudes, our thoughts

Power too strong to fight
prevailing force wins
let your body and mind flow with the spin
be seduced by the whirl as the wheels turn
on the highway of the mind

 

dowse the urban dilemma
project into the future
where would cities be without the wheel?
where will cities be when we no longer need spin?
