But Alas

You would think that
When humans have built
Gigantic cloud piercing skyscrapers
Expansive hanging bridges
Over bodies of water and deep canyons
Miles and miles of roads and tunnels
Humongous ships and airplanes

You would think that
Setting 500 sq feet of floor tiles 
In a typical residential house
Would be done in perfection
With one eye closed

But alas
It is not the size of the job
Or the degree of difficulty
That determines the outcome

But the determination
Knowledge 
And conviction
To do it right
No matter how small 
Or insignificant
