Metropolis up high
On a monster’s flattened skull
Kept above the clouds
As the giant plods along
People walking slowly
As their world sways every day
No cars or buses to be found
For fear they will roll off
All ignore the stench of sweat
That wafts off the monster’s flesh
Over time they do not notice
As their noses have passed on
The city trudges on
With its buildings clothed in spikes
Long enough to pierce a hand
That may try to scratch them off
This city standing tall
Has no clue where it has been
As it tries to live its life
Atop the ancient titan
(Poem for A Day Challenge Entry. Done with bad hangover.)

Thanks. I got the idea from a video game scene where the ‘hero’ has to get onto a temple that sits on top of a wandering Titan.
