Vaulting

High ceiling feeling elates
a down chest, a diaphragm 
hanging low and banging 
on snow banks, sounding 
too clamorous for the 
average stomach -- call
it elitism, but a better
building stands, whether
it was architected from
the top or for lower
rungs. Ladder season 
goes to the poles and
waits, as up-standing 
denizens cast their 
anchors on characters,
to represent the emotions
that vibrate at the frequent
shallow rhythms which
accompany callous
wishy washers.
