The world's tallest building
still waits to be discovered
right.
Tall, with perfect standstill poise,
it makes little noise
without permission from the bird.
Straight spine, upright, structure to spire
top, noticeable from far
off
from various angles and glare,
Its windows top square
cuneiforms-slants and tilted star
monumentally lit Christmas tree's
face indeed glows for all to
see
Makes their eyes glisten, enjoy
colors lifting Joy
trapped in its Metallic body.
