these aerial views— by Abbie Doll

mountain ranges reduced

to anthill craters,

sprawling suburbs compressed

to crop circle parking lots

everything shrinks (up here)

every earthly feature slinks

into the shadows, melting into

mere impressions, behemoths

crammed into capsules for

playful fingers that like to pinch
