Poetry inspires

The other day, Myles and I read some poems from Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses over lunch. I found an imported copy at one of the new bookstores here for 20 RMB!
He usually requests the "one about the kids pretending to be pirates," and after that I can read another one.
The day we were reading them over lunch we read one called "Block City." When I got to the following lines, which came after several verses describing the planning and building of the child's city of blocks

Now I have done with it, down let it go!
All in a moment the town is laid low.
Block upon block lying scattered and free,

Myles interrupted me, "But why did he knock it down?"
"Why do you knock your blocks down?" I asked him back.
"Because I want to!"
"So why do you think he knocked his blocks down?"
"Oh. Because he wanted to."

I finished the poem and Myles was suddenly inspired. For some reading poetry probably inspires in them their own creative acts. However, for Myles, it inspired instead several cycles of building---purely for the sake of destructive acts.
Each city, though was awesome. First he built Pittsburgh. The most identifiable buildings in Pittsburgh are the USX Tower and PPG Place. In Myles' Pittsburgh, it was ZZZ Tower. Next came "some city in China." The Mandarin word for building is Da Sha, so, of course, Myles' Chinese city was full of places like Gai Xing Gua Da Sha, and other nonsensical such things, but always ending with Da Sha. Once that was lying scattered and free, he commenced the construction of Hong Kong. Every building in his Hong Kong was "China Bank," "Hong Kong Bank," "Shanghai Bank." Most important to him, though, was the demolition. Of course.
