mountains

you said you don't want to live
where the mountains are
you'd like to see it all
as flat beneath the skies
clear blues and wounded grays
framed by straight lines
and forward eyes
all plain to see before you
certainly no peaks to slip down
nor tunnels to retire to
no hopes to lose balance over
no, certainly not
you told me you dont like to see them in the distance
i said, "they're not in the way, but something to aim for"
and at that you said "that's interesting"
and nothing more.
