Read this excerpt from "Empire State Building" by J. Patrick Lewis. I am an American boy, standing up to the world.

I sleep, the city sleeps. We dream

the riveter's dream, held island-fast.

I wake to taxi alarms.

I am a 102-stop elevator ride to heaven.

I am ten million bricks of unshakable faith.

I capture imagination at its peak.

informal; he uses familiar language to entertain his audience with meaningful poetry.

Boy entertains his listeners with insightful poems by using everyday words.

Boy, please explain how a building is constructed.

He's referring to the city. He does not advise anyone to pay a visit to the structure. It is not amusing. It almost appears to be the buildings, but the reader must decide for himself.
