The Old Observatory

But it was a shortcut out of the dome,
Into heaven’s greater vault—now the home
Of entities I found more foe than friend;
To look up would take time I could not spend:

Hastily I mounted my old red bike
And headed for the exit feeling like

Lot who was warned by God not to look back,
But to keep his eyes front and stay on track.
