A REPORT ON THE ARCHITECTURAL PART

In the beginning there were the cross and the circle
Then came cubes, stairways,
Windows, doors, balconies, colours
The cross and the circle disappeared
A little architect drove on the Nõmme Road
With his heart beating
Excited by a metal cube
Excited by a wooden cube
Excited by a black glass cube
Excited by a green stone cube
Red outer stairways, railings,
Grey-bluish metal of the roof
The whole white body
Full of power, beauty and elan
And the one afternoon
A GIANT CAT arrived
It screwed
The colourful stairwells
Round windows
Ventilation shafts, all toilets and saunas
It screwed the inhabitants
Lonely passers-by
A trolley-bus
A gentle cloud floating above the house
The Architect`s pencil
And the whole machinery
Called Dwellinghouse 54 Nõmme Road
And the trees kept looking
Kept looking
Looking
Looking
Kept looking all the time
