A New View .
Up, the only road
wide with sturdy rungs
up. Perplexed,
the shelves are out
of reach.
.
And so the fierce
activity halts. Pause
becomes full brakes;
the echoing of tires
screeching.
.
Lean out unable
to see beyond a hard
grasp, stunned inside
an unexpected wait.
Fewer compatriots
climb pass.
.
Go higher another
year when Earth's
spin slows and gravity
tightens.
.
Dollars will fall likely
green droplets out of
bright with challenge
dense storms. For
now, hold. Reconfigure
high cloud destinies.
.
Do not reach up for
items on the surrounding
shelves. Breathe calm
to concentrate only
on rung maintenance.
