Blocks
January 24, 2017
We never stop playing with blocks
They just get bigger
More expensive
Made of different “stuff”
Some people’s blocks are iron and rubber
Thirty mile per gallon bunkers
Some blocks are made of cloth
Cathedral of silk and lace
Others’ blocks are green fiberglass and gold copper
120 frames per second ultra high setting castles
Other’s are steel and lead
Acrid smoke, harbinger of death
Like a toddler finished with his blocks
