We Build Houses of Our Bodies and Select A New Location Will there be earthquakes, hurricanes, other acts of God? We check for ground stability. We have heard stories about shifting sands. We fear tumbling down and begin to research pilings. We research utilities. We do not want to drink the copper swill of wells. We will need protection, proximity to hospitals. We choose materials last. Rough-hewn lumber may give us splinters, isolate us. What if we choose steel and glass? We could not ever throw stones. Whatever we decide, we must count the cost. |
