saturated steam

night had evaporated
after moving heated words
through coils and tubes
we poured out of small sweating chambers into bank street
force resolved
we would not build
dispersing
boilers for new machines
dissipating through new day city
to manufacture boilers

bank street at sunrise
(the steam boilermakers meeting rooms were on bank street in 1893)
