Dubai Mall
A contrived bee-hive crawling
with workers, cars, and consumers, but
there are no queens, honey rich
they have already flown
to underexploited meadows, instead
the empty honeycomb centre is
filled with sharks swimming
in circles, bored
with overly easy pickings, stunned
by their surreal context, viewed
by humans, watching
a pseudo history of what
the world was like before
desalination
developed the desert, and
destroyed the reef.
