Accustomed To Challenging Obstacles Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I find it hard to believe,
Someone would repeatedly...
Climb to see the same view,
From atop a high mountain.
And not be curious with temptation,
To seek the reaching of other peaks seen...
Teasing one accustomed to challenging obstacles.

'What's on your mind? '

~When? ~

'I saw the look.
And I was there with you to see the view.
One of us has other plateaus in mind to reach.'

~And one of us should stop trying to be psychic.
Or is that 'psycho'?

'Don't worry about it.
I'm not like the others.
You're a little strange.
But crazy you're not.
So which one did you pick? '

~The one that was on the left and in the distance.
What did you just call me?
What's strange about being ambitious? ~

'Well,
Since you brought the subject up...
I'm cool with the ambitious part.
It's the drooling done you do,
While staring off in the distance...
That makes me a little bit nervous.'
