Today’s word is “conurbation” ... kon-er-bay-shuhn ... an extensive urban area resulting from the expansion of several cities or towns so that they coalesce but usually retain their separate identities. (Dictionary.com)
Touching
Some cities and towns insist,
On spreading all together,
North, south, east and west,
To each other they are tethered.
This sneaky conurbation,
Results in seemless places,
But ugly, ubiquitous restaurants,
Duplicate in retail races.
So, no matter where you go,
In this metropolis so fine,
You’ll find each street monotonous,
With no special place to dine.
