These are lines from a longer sequence titled "Public Transportation," based on the Beijing Subway map and the character "chāi." It attempts to evaluate how a city changes and the reasons for those changes. If I could've wrote it in stanzas with normal line breaks, I would have. It came as a shape and the text synthesized with it. It's in the tradition of concrete poetry, which if you want to learn more about, you should read Dick Higgins' wonderful entryway Pattern Poetry!
