The roof was high
almost too high for any ladder
The first eight courses
of rock shingles
were laid beautifully wrong
A national art treasure
of little foundation
that would lead to
manmade disaster
Everyone knew there
had to be change
Yet the feat seemed so
impossible that no one volunteered
Even the ferry that
carted egos full of war heroes
could not
entice
a single soul
to stop fighting
and walk upon the water
for fear of getting
the baby wet
