One sky scrapper after another
Is crushed while this creature
Runs amuck in the city
It stands about 110 meters tall
Fifty thousand tons weighs upward
No less than 15 meters long footprint
Charging speed of 470 kilo meters an hour
It was born a mutant dinosaur-like monster
As the result of repeated nuclear experiments
(dedicated to a great poet, Brad Leithauser)
Ahmad Shiddiqi
