At my desk i am a copilot.
My vista is grand; i see beyond the
horizon.
The instrument panel
topped with talismans
(family photos, coasters,
a clock that actually ticks)
Directs my sight
Inward and outward,
Before and beyond.
i am only three stories above
a parking lot
Beside train tracks
And an office park,
But i fly
Toward meaning
High above myself
One breath at a time.
--Mr. Gobley
