“Virgin Vertical”

Virgin vertical, rising lines.

Draw my gaze up to the skies.

Virgin vertical, climbing up.

Venti crumpled coffee cup.

Virgin vertical, ascending view.

Perspective lines misconstrued.

Virgin vertical, creating fear.

Vengeful vertigo, imbalanced ears.

Virgin vertical, dizzying feats.

Ledgers full of life’s defeats.
