aspired to build a bridge and tear it down
but you watch every bolt go in
every peice of steel lay down
every cable contorted toward a heaven
called an apex of pressure and tension
you made the plans with flashes of light in your brain
the idea
from thought
to word
to mouth
to word
to mouth
an engineer wrote it down
and it has manifested from picture
to impact
so you watch the people walk over it
and you tear it down
waking up the steel
and making new thoughts
