"I dunno," said Mason. "A lot’s been weighing on me lately—other bricks, mostly. When I took this job, I didn’t realize it was permanent."

“Why?”
“So we can build a T-Rex like you asked. That’s what Lego is for.”
“Use that?” My son pointed at my Galaxy Explorer.
“Not th-“

And I watched, glibly, as he began by removing one individual brick from the sculpture and placing it neatly on a pallet.
"Necessary to preserve the material, you see," he said, needlessly.
I sighed and started to help.
One-by-one, carefully.

That would dare block my catwalk
To food, catnip or yarn ball

The queen’s orders were clear: Harvest crumbs. Ignore the wall.
Ant #247 twitched. “That structure must fall.” Ant #862 sighed. “Brick by brick?”

Chants are patrolling
In every eye a tear
Turning against our fear
Screaming against the current structure
And hoping for a better future
On every face a big frown
We have to tear it all down
Destroy all of it's spore
So we can build it up once more

"Brick by brick, Annie. We're gonna tear it all down."
Anne remains silent. Somehow she doubts it.

Leaning on his cane, the little man stood to look him in the eye. "Brick by brick. Until it falls."

Joe: Why couldn't I have been blessed with smarter henchmen?

As he turns away I sail my brick towards his head #hbp104
