The Body Beside The Ties by Kenneth Patchen
Kenneth Patchen is my favorite, and the best american

Inside The Walls
Undulations plunging. Even those touching
the blocks, unsure of how well they’ll stack
up. Still, must it be we who come tumbling down?
While fingers grasp at ill fitted pieces?
For the building process is so short lived, just
enough, like toy cars, to rev us up and
put us down, that we may speed off to our own
plans, but by what hand and for what purpose and
on which destination could we all agree?
Toys are for children.
Happy workers all are we.
