Affection, the gifted architect

Is making a draft and beautiful design

The options and possibilities

Are endless when we connect and re-align

Collections of books and documents

Arise and parade around my cluttered desk

Reworking the math and measurements

Until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque

Like mountains in the Midwest

Reaction creates the columns dark

And wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale

The structures begin to take their shape

Before I've designed the public monorail

The turnpike and high-speed motorway

Connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets

The airport, the broad suspension bridge

The lake and the beach where several rivers meet

Compounded from the spreadsheet

A city sparkles in the night

How can it glow so bright?

The neighborhoods surround the soft florescent light

Designer skyline in my head

Abstract and still well-read

You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead
