BUILDER BY ANOTHER NAME

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I can very well pinpoint engineering
But not the engineer
Why, isn`t it all about metals, chemicals and formulars?
Engineering is scientific and empirical
It works according to laws and principles.

Building construction, stevedoring
Site plans, site offices, factory, overseer
It`s not nature, so neither the pulmonary artery nor the premolars
It`s statistical, concrete, weightable, measurable and inimical
When it passes, in its wake, it leaves architectural ripples.
