There is a giant shell of a factory
being constructed near downtown.
At first it was skeletal
with steel beams reaching skyward,
and now it appears they've begun
to bolt on a skin of aluminum sheets.
The factory is several stories tall
and passersby stare and point
as if they cannot recall what
purpose a factory serves.
I watched a man and woman do just that
Saturday at 10:30 am before walking
hand in hand into the bar for a drink.
They too celebrate the coming jobs.
