13,509. NOBLESS OBLIGE

NOBLESS OBLIGE
Nobody today knows how to
leave anything alone. The curse
of a modern day. The fixture on
the charnel-house landing.
-
We sometimes stand alone, or
think we do, or stand back - to
watch things occur, the mix with
the ladle, the churn of the mortar
being mixed.
-
But when we are done, how so
many love the bricks, and with 
them erect their kingdoms of high 
railing and stately heights. No one
leaves anything alone.
