An Ode To Progress

Mid-western beauty is for the life-sized but 
in the shadow of the mountain, the cranes
work festive. Inclined to impress with a brand new 
Babel. Creators until proven otherwise.

And of course we, seeing the value in youth,
proceeded to grow up anyway. 
Hoping to create a permanence like Dali
and his microwave or the ten thousand new ways
to serve. 

To those who, like a closet door, cling to corners and 
move as shadow — it is the dance most of all.
