By the fence, small voices asked:
“Who’s footing this glitter?
Who shoulders the strain?
Who keeps the House steady
in blizzards of clout?”
Stone keeps a ledger
of what’s taken out.

“Gold doorknobs! Gold napkins!
Unfold me gold stairs!
Gold seatbelts for sofas!
Gold handrail affairs!
A boom-room! A blare-room!
A clap-o-deluxe!
If something says No—
we’ll persuade it with trucks!”

“I want a wing,” said the Man.
“The modest one on the east—trade its work for wow.”
Walls loosened, maps redrew,
doors unhinged.
And the House gave.
