on the road for about six years now.
large men in hardhats
and bright green vests.
cranes and trucks,
orange cones as far as the eye
can see.
the detour signs.
the piles of dirt being pushed
here and there by tractors.
jersey walls and striped
barriers.
they built the empire state
building in a hundred days.
irish and italian, greek
immigrants, chinese men.
we can't build a road five
miles long in a decade.
