The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for January 2001
Engineering
(a poem)
sunday morning
6:am slipping in
to the bank for a bit
while the network
slumbers and the
money settles
the big dig
moves
the
two of us awake
new streets
form in the
morning fog
my roadster
picking through
endangered
beeping cranes
as they swoop
above the jersey
barriers
hoisted
for an hour
of excavation
while new microcode
settles in like
the dust around the
glory holes
they put
steel plates
in place and
slide the walls
again
i
wrap up
shutdown and
rush
away to
Dorothy
and the cats
and an omelet
and the day
December 4-8, 2000
