Revitchitect

Learning the program is almost as difficult as the following title.

Revitchitect

The wrench has not a parallel side.

Our tools are changing.

.

Riveting, reviting, revealing,

Collapse the ribbon panel.

.

There are option bars full of properties.

Where one once played with the heaviness of a pencil,

My cursor chooses buttons,

Pressing project browsing for ideas.

.

There is a parameter of bounding edges,

Tip-toeing the thin line between getting it in and

getting it right.

The palate, please, an application for the tongue

-the menu taste, something to fight this hunger

to finish.

.

Could a structural model link to my center?

Allow just something to let me stand where

Navigation leads into crisscrossed streets?

.

Statues, these, drawn with everything in plan

but referenced where?

.

Lost on a layer, in an object

Gone to modify, those deep wells,

A spring of unknown dimensions.

.

And, someday you will swim,

Break the surface of a mountain reflection.

.

Tip, clip, clasp, and snap.

Pin walls to their places.

Hold roofs where they are associated

Or losing the foundation,

When the earth shakes and

Work is left in clouds.

.

What a constraint

To the opening and closing of a mind.

Standing soldiers are pushed off the ledge,

The world now thinks in a computer.

The instances are fleeting in our visual world,

Virtually useless.
