Sweat drips onto cold marble where early politicians traded revolutionary debts for southern humidity, anchoring grand white temples in thick summer air.

Steel bought this silent limestone peace. Heavy doors shut out the city's frantic rush. Rembrandt's weary eyes watch us.

Hot street steam rises. Glass glints on Fifty-Third Street, where heavy steel skeletons silently hold up a century of vertical dreams in this cold. We tread here today.
