Animal

'This city is an animal, fierce and complicated. To understand it I read its droppings, its scents, the movements of its parasites' -Rorschach

Living in the city
one loses oneself
amongst buildings, darkness
and madness.

City of madness,
inhabited by madmen
and the madmens children
seek their escape
in fantasies of happiness
where everything is pure.

Their methods are scorned
but in their worst state
reveal the worst truth,
City of loss.
