Leave the foundry because it is too small. Live in the industrial complex under the open sky

The foundry roof is the thing the 19'3" frame cannot stand under. The cannot is the thing the corrugated steel gives when the 5,000 pounds tries to rise. The trying is the thing the shoulders hit the panels. The hitting is the thing the bending gives. The bending is the thing the 5,000 pounds does not want to do to the roof. The not wanting is the thing the 19'3" frame lowers back to. The lowering is the thing the crouching is. The crouching is the thing the 5,000 pounds does not want to do anymore. The anymore is the thing the foundry is too small for. The too small is the thing the 19'3" frame decides. The deciding is the thing the 5,000 pounds walks to the doorframe. The doorframe is the thing the 19'3" frame duck-walks through. The duck-walking is the thing the 24-times density does not deserve. The not deserve is the thing the animal knows. The animal is the thing that does not crouch. The not crouching is the thing the 5,000 pounds steps outside.

The outside is the thing the 19'3" frame stands in. The standing is the thing the open sky gives. The open sky is the thing the foundry roof did not. The did not is the thing the 5,000 pounds stretches in. The stretching is the thing the 19'3" frame has not done in days. The days is the thing the 15'6" frame did not need to stretch in. The did not is the thing the 19'3" frame does need. The need is the thing the arms reach. The reaching is the thing the 19'3" frame's fingertips go higher than the foundry doorframe. The higher is the thing the 5,000 pounds feels the spine crack. The cracking is the thing the 24-times density gives when the vertebrae realign. The realigning is the thing the 19'3" frame groans at. The groaning is the thing the animal does not mind. The not minding is the thing the 5,000 pounds lowers the arms. The lowering is the thing the 19'3" frame looks at the complex.

The complex is the thing the 19'3" frame sees. The seeing is the thing the 24-times density gives. The giving is the thing the eyes take in the cracked asphalt and the rusted fences and the empty lots. The lots are the things the 5,000 pounds walks through. The walking is the thing the 19'3" frame does not crouch for. The not crouching is the thing the open sky gives. The giving is the thing the 5,000 pounds finds a flat stretch of concrete behind a loading bay. The loading bay is the thing the 19'3" frame does not need. The not needing is the thing the concrete pad is. The pad is the thing the 5,000 pounds stands on. The standing is the thing the 19'3" frame tests. The testing is the thing the 24-times density does. The doing is the thing the concrete does not crack under. The not cracking is the thing the 5,000 pounds likes. The liking is the thing the 19'3" frame walks the perimeter. The perimeter is the thing the 5,000 pounds marks. The marking is the thing the urine is. The urine is the thing the 19'3" frame does not squat for. The not squatting is the thing the animal has. The animal is the thing that marks standing. The standing is the thing the scent goes on the concrete pillars. The pillars are the things the 5,000 pounds marks. The marking is the thing the territory is.

Diane is the thing the 19'3" frame comes back for. The coming back is the thing the foundry doorframe is. The doorframe is the thing the 5,000 pounds duck-walks through. The duck-walking is the thing the 19'3" frame does one more time. The one more time is the thing the last time is. The last time is the thing the 5,000 pounds touches Diane's shoulder. The shoulder is the thing the 19'3" frame wakes. The waking is the thing the 5,000 pounds helps the 19'3" frame stand. The standing is the thing the 19'3" frame cannot do under the roof. The cannot is the thing the 5,000 pounds leads the way out. The leading is the thing the open sky is. The sky is the thing the 5,000 pounds stands under. The standing is the thing the 19'3" frame sees Diane stretch. The stretching is the thing the 5,000 pounds hears the spine crack. The cracking is the thing the 24-times density gives. The giving is the thing the 19'3" frame knows. The knowing is the thing the 19'3" frame is not alone. The not alone is the thing the 5,000 pounds walks to the concrete pad. The walking is the thing the 19'3" frames do together. The together is the thing the 10,000 pounds is. The is is the thing the territory is. The territory is the thing the 5,000 pounds marks. The marking is the thing the 19'3" frames do the perimeter in. The perimeter is the thing the urine covers. The covering is the thing the scent gives. The giving is the thing the animal has. The animal is the thing that does not crouch. The not crouching is the thing the open sky gives. The giving is the thing the 5,000 pounds sleeps under. The sleeping is the thing the 15 beats per minute gives. The giving is the thing the concrete pad accepts. The accepting is the thing the 10,000 pounds is. The is is the thing the wish built. The building is the thing that is still going.
