Today, why not stand up? Why not get right up, throw off those huge metal braces that hold you in place?
Because you are a riveted, riveting, steam powered bull made of rusted and corrugated steal.
You were made in a factory, shipped via truck and boat, and then nailed into a concrete platform. You are a coin operated, gyrating monument to something no one remembers.
That's why you can't stand up -- but even though you cannot move, remember that the view is great!
