I reject your reality, and substitute my own. (Adam Savage)

Vaulted corregated cathedral



dominating the Arizona sky.
Desert winds shifting



and warping around it's form
Lights aglow.
But not soft lights. Harsh radiation
Spewing from vast moniliths of exhast vents.


Residents of it see her desert



but not her beauty or indignition




only death is important to





these men of steel
