Skyways are rectilinear. Seashells are spirals. The lack of gradient in the skyways is felt as a kind of shock, your path jerks every block, jogs left or right, jams into a t-intersection, shifts up or staggers and staggers around a bit before shooting off into another tee or ell. There is not chance for the inner ear to find a melody to your path in the skyway. It has a certain rhythm. But no melody.
