How gravity works

He cut the binder and grabbed the brick

stacked ‘em high on his hod.

Up on his shoulders, steady now.

On up the ladder, one step at a time.

Carefully places them on the ledge

“bring up more mortar” mason yells

So he does, with hardly a look.

Mason grabs the brick, takes a trowel

scooping into the mortar board,

butters the brick, eyes the placement

reaching to set it -just so- carefully

drops the brick!
