Do you have any idea how many nuts it takes
To bolt up all the bolts that must be bolted?
Some of them weigh three pounds each
and no matter how hard I try
I can never be as strong as a man.
Bolts are heavier than nuts.
They are longer, thicker and possess
a prominent head, but
nuts are more difficult to carry up
Two hundred and fourteen steps.
The benefits to lugging those nuts
(while working the jobsite near the dam)
is the view of the river valley
And the awe of knowing
that an unborn flood is waiting
behind that cement wall.

Ashesh9almost 10 years agoA great view & a greater Poem ! High 5- ed .
greenmountaineeralmost 10 years agoThis is marvelous. You weave something complex from two simple objects and open up a vast expanse for the reader to imagine. And the metaphorical view from the top makes a really good poem that much better.
