and tourist traps
and commonplace landmarks
[though i still stand in awe
at archaeological experiences,
no matter what culture is being shown]

the Acropolis was built
stone by stone by hand
and when it was eroded
by siege
or nature

and these days
though the hands are working
machinery
the conservation process
is rebuilding things
to seem
as they would have been
thousands of years ago
still
stone
by
stone
