402. Earthquake Possibility

Architect
Visiting the city
Looking at structures
Making conjectures
About earthquake
He sees
100s of electrical wires
Crisscrossing every street
Imagines people
Trying to escape
On their feet
Unsafe inside
Not safe outside either
He wonders how do
People make decisions
On where to live
Why choose a city
That can take life
So easily
No matter what
It can give


Life in San Francisco

That's a provocative perspective. There are so many ways people make decisions about things -- status, aesthetics, commute time.... Safety should be higher on our radar, but it often isn't.
