Perched high-
Far from any who would care.
An amphitheater of Earth.
Towering hundreds of feet above my head –
Arching and embracing me in its fold.
I wonder how many others have stood on this stage?
Others that share my interest
but not
My species.
Can I stay?
Be a witness to a drama –
In the middle of acts-
A play that began millions of years ago.
