Elevator Gothic #3

I think some people are afraid

to ride up in elevators

because they’ve heard the expression

“Hey, I can see my house from here!”

and the last thing some people want

is a bird’s eye view of their house

especially if we’re talking

not about real elevators

but metaphors inside our head

and the heads of people we love

that let us look down at our self

and see our self in perspective.


“Hey, I can see my house from here

and look, dinosaurs, volcanoes

and UFOs shaped like donuts.”


Elevators can be monsters.
