Industry

There is beauty
in utility,
the angular concrete
water treatment facility
in someway mirrors
the majesty
of the bluffs and canyons
of Starved Rock
across the river
or at least speaks to 
Humanity's attempt
to best or better Nature
in its inherent productivity
and in this doomed ambition
in this hopeless endeavor
this utter hubris
there is a certain aesthetic
a harmony by contrast
