Plateau
many a hand
has scaled the grand old face
of the plateau
some belong
to strangers and
some to folks
you know
holy ghosts
and talk show hosts
are planted
in the sand
to beautify
the foothills and
shake the
many hands
there's nothing
on the top
but a bucket
and a mop
and an illustrated
book about birds
you see a
lot up there but don't be scared
who needs
action when you got words
when you're
finished with the mop
then you can
stop
and look at
what you've done
the plateau's
clean, no dirt to be seen
and the work
it took was fun
well the many
hands beganto scan around
for the next
plateau
some said
it was in greenland
and some in
mexico
some decided
it was nowhere
except for
where they stood
but they were
all just guesses,
wouldn't help
you if they could
