a daring mountaineer
ran out of lonely peaks
and women he could brag to
he met a wild woman
just as tired
of her narcissistic journey
they attached
and hoped
they were in love
this projection
became their Everest
with no summit
they ate crackers and soup
listened to talk radio
fell asleep wondering
they sighed in unison
quit dreaming
of mountaintops
