Tracks of the caterpillar
on the road
carries the weight
that it loads

Clankkk!
Clankkk!

hydraulic press crack
the road
dig further
'til it explodes

laborer's sweat
huddling like brood
daubed his temple
with a calloused hold

Claaank!

bystander's fist
on waist, unfold
clock ran out
turned back, they dissolved
