Old Man of the Mount,
Your decline betoke your state:
Living free, then dead.

Fluid spiral drum
Guides us through continuum
Of evolving art.

Sculpture in the round
Shepherds us from sky to ground
Through an artist's life.

Freeform nautilus
Through a freespace motions us
By the freehand's craft.

Beacon of bright hope
For high-tech to lift us up
From recession's murk.

Décor, structure, space
All festooned in one huzzah:
Auditorium.
