lego houses; thirty-four

one block,
two blocks,
three blocks,
four.

shouldn't we keep building this house a little more?

five blocks,
six blocks,
seven blocks,
eight.

up and up the tower goes!
threatening to pierce the sky and to puncture the heavens!
impaling the clouds of their rain and cutting through the thick blanket of the ocean sky.

nine blocks,
ten blocks,
eleven blocks,
twelve.

boom! crash!

the tower falls,
crashing and burning.

much like what was left of you & i.
