From his blue tower
an unhappy analyst looks down
upon happy children
skipping in the liquid argyle
of the fountain’s jets of water.
From his blue tower
he looks down on them,
but when their necks crane upward
they only see
a cloud menagerie,
the startling blue welkin
reflected in the glass of his tower,
and sun flashing off hot steel.
