Distressed brick

When a brick building gets demolished
and all those brick are clean and polished
Not quite "polished" they're a mess
showing signs of their distress.

Old paint and some mortar too
Marks them up: not quite new
But they're made ready to ship
Distressed brick is really hip.

A brand new job looks broken in
With old brick you soon begin
To build anew from something old
"New" old brick are quickly sold.
