The Vessel

Bug or beehive, either way,
It’s ugly and imposing
Yet everyone will talk about it;
That’s what I’m supposing.

The sculpture, recently unveiled,
Has varied stairs and landings
And one small lift where one strict guard
Was full of reprimandings.

From every level, there’s a view,
The river in the distance
And as you climb up higher
You can feel the wind’s resistance.

Opinions clash about this structure,
But it isn’t moving,
Welcoming all comers,
Which includes those disapproving.
