Riveter Of Worlds Poem by Nika McGuin
Riveter Of Worlds
I sit, posted up
beneath the flagpole
its ropes swish
giving way to clink after clink
I look up and realize
the world is upside-down
or the world is split in two
that decision is up to you
but, in the deep sea above
float white cotton masses
and wading in it all lies the flagpole
conjoining the two distant planes

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I was wandering the campus one day and spotted the flagpole. The set up around it was really nice so I sat there for a while(right on the bricks underneath it since the benches were kind of dusty.) I didn't have paper at the time so I wrote this on my arm.
