Mountain
Mountain.
Why are you standing there like a
big oaf doing absolutely nothing,
all day, every day, year in, year out,
since as long as anyone recalls?
Do you think that Norman Foster
would design such a monstrosity
without a door, a window, or stairs?
Blocking our view is all you do.
You donβt even stop the rain clouds.
Because of you we get premature
sunsets and that dark, sombre
shadow you cast over the valley.
Even the moon has so much
trouble rising over you, that at
times it never manages to do so.
Mountain, I think you are a
typical, chauvinistic, narcissist,
expecting everyone to pay you
homage and look up to you.
Mountain, I have just climbed
you, I am standing on your
tallest peak which I think should
be spelt peek. And guess what?
I have just found
your plaque for people.
