“Humanitarian Engineer (The Sonnet) The burning scent of molten solder is just as intoxicating to me as the musky scent of soil drenched in the first downpour of monsoon. In the right human hands, a soldering iron can solder the cracks in accessibility, while in the hands of just clever apes, soldering iron cooks up circuits of privilege, while burning down the bridges of equality. Any engineer can tell the voltage of a battery from taste, but only a humane engineer knows how to put each volt and amp to humanitarian use. The burnt fingertips count for something, only when your innovation is catalyst for good.”

“Overnight, the city managed to procure thousands of cardboard boxes, fifteen hundred hard hats, a few thousand rolls of packing tape, and the services of Eric Lundquist, a mechanical engineer and former popcorn distributor who had reinvented himself as a expert in drying out wet things. The notion of putting the books in with groceries didn't faze Lundquist, since he'd freeze-dried his first salvaged books alongside a summer's worth of peas and carrots from his garden.”
