Warm Bricks

Stop and put your hands 
on the warm bricks
of an old factory
where the sounds 
of industry growing 
can often be felt.
Massive belts turning,
sparks flying, steam spewing
and the tales of workers
struggling to prosper 
in this magnificent experiment
called America

Peter, this is so reminiscent of some Carl Sandburg poems. Nicely done! Warm wishes, Gershon
