Look

four mirrored walls enclose us
six and a half feet across
cables an inch in diameter
shudder and pull against the drop

you lean, slit eyed, against the wall
the air is thick with pheromones
three co-passengers in the ride
climbing elevator slowly crawls

the mirrors lend transparency
for us to gaze and gaze and gaze
all thirty two vertebrae
electrified, invisibly charged

we look look look and look
an age passes floor by floor
so many stops to let them out
waiting for looks to turn to more
