Pharaoh built, they say
giant monument to gods
in the desert sun
blood-sweat-tears of workers and
tool-maker, architects, scribes
Martin Perl found the
tau lepton, a Nobel prize
many years of work
technicians like my father
made circuits, dug ditches, worked
those up at the top
deserve what credit they get
so do those below
those below are foundation
without them nothing happens
