Spacekraft (Werk Makes Free)

Robotic space arm.
Slowly building spaceship.
Metallic glimmer of iron and steel.

Advanced quadrilaterals and spheres.
Trigonometrical equations-
Cascade from computer screens.

Hammers bang.
Sawblades sing.
Conceived by human minds.
Achieved thanks to alien technology.

Many centuries it takes to complete.
But what a sight to finally behold.
The sun reflects off smooth silver.
Dazzling eyes.
