A Building Going Up
A building’s going up across
The river and I find
Though I’ve watched it be constructed,
Still, it really blows my mind.
Where once was just some empty space,
The crew and all their cranes
Have built a massive structure;
Now no empty space remains.
I don’t know how they do it
But it’s rising really fast,
The view forever altered,
For that building’s meant to last.
It doesn’t block the river –
Well, at least from where I sit,
Though the residents who live behind it
Might just have a fit
Since this brand-new edifice appears
To 99%
Cause all those unlucky souls to wonder
Where the river went.
