I love it when holes grow bigger from the digger.

I love it when the crane tower lifts with its mighty power.

I love it when the bright vests
scurry
around steel nests.
11
I love it when gloopy concrete pours harden to make strong floors.
12
I love it when the lift does a bunny hop to the top. 13
I love it when the window glass is polished up like brass.
14
I love it when it’s all done, glowing in the afternoon sun.

I love it when a new space makes this a better place.
