I said to myself almost in prayer, It will start hair-raising currents of air
When you give it the livid metal-sap. It will make a homicidal roar. It will shake its cast stone reef of floor. It will gather speed till your nerves prepare
To hear it wreck in a thunderclap. But stand your ground, As they say in war. It is cotter-pinned, it is bedded true. Everything its parts can do
Has been thought out and accounted for. Your least touch sets it going round, And when to stop it rests with you.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in History/Government and International Relations from George Mason University, and a Master's Degree in International Affairs with a Concentration in U.S. Foreign Policy from American University in Washington, DC. I was born in New York City, and have lived in Northern Virginia since childhood. I am an independent writer and an entrepreneur. I am also a book author.
