By Hand

I stepped into a place of magic.
Implements, antique construction,
still used everyday.
Shiny interlopers keep away!
The trusty and pre-fabricated still hold sway.
Products of a bygone era,
polished and honed to precision,
manual labor, the road to perfection.



(Note: on visiting a farmhouse in Finland
          where many of the old-fashioned farm 
          implements are still used to this day.)
