America Said Okay
I marvel at the seemingly small things
That collectively form America
And wonder that a human did those things
Without praise or question - just an "Okay"
When told to wire electricity
Into every room in Manhattan-
Or build a building a hundred stories high
Or lay a pipeline three thousand miles long
Or build a dam to impound a mighty river -
Just an "Okay" to remove a mountain
And replace it with a city
America has never heard,"Are you serious?"
It was built on, "Okay"
