Trying to draw inspiration from a brick

This--is a brick.

They're not a very special or sentimental item in any way.

No one proposes with a brick.

Or compliments someone by saying they look like a brick today.

Pretty sure no one collects bricks (then again I could be wrong, weird people out there)

There's no inspiring movies or books about bricks.

A brick hasn't inspired a scientific discovery.

All a brick has ever really done is be part of a wall.

A piece to a puzzle.

No brick being more of a standout than another.

It's kind of an overlooked essential.

A person could propose on a brick wall and never know.

Maybe someone was wearing a brick colored dress that someone thought looked great on them.

A collection of records could be displayed on a brick wall.

There's a song called "One Brick at a Time"

Schools are almost always made of brick somewhere.

Bricks are everywhere and yet when asked to write about them we can't think of anything but why on earth we have to write about a stupid brick.

I'm gonna appreciate bricks a bit more now.

Maybe I'll start a collection.
