Look up!
No, really, look up.
Over the store facades
over the shop windows
over the flashy signs
Up there
where modernity hasn't quite caught up yet
Up there
where the paint is peeling
where stone faces grimace down at us
from a time almost forgotten
when buildings were decorated with care
Look up!
You may be surprised
to find sculpted wreaths
old names
almost erased by time
a date
a window
that's been blocked off
Look up!
There's a history right there
waiting to be seen
And then
look way up
to the glass towers
looming above
the future
looking down upon us
full of promise
when the sun hits them just right
Look up!
You might learn something new
about this city
you know so well.

RépondreEffacerMario: Contente de savoir que je ne suis pas seule!
RépondreEffacerMarine: But of course! I just want people to look at things they usually ignore, and I think people will more likely look up to the beautiful sky, than look at the details of a building with a forgotten history.
