Construction Site

I saw them building
Across the road
I wondered what would stand
And whether it would last

I saw the workmen working
I saw them rest for lunch
They spent that time talking
I wonder what about

The frames went up
The screws went in
The drills and saws were spinning
Dust all over the ground

I had stood outside to look
I scan the entire scene
Oblivious to the soundlessness
No matter where I am
