Seeing The Sublime Poem by gershon hepner

While some have claimed to stand upon high mountaintops
and photographed the panorama they claim to have seen,
this bores a lot of men who don’t like don’t like photo ops
unless they’re in the photo, and seem central to the scene.

Many more have stood upon the foothills where
there was no panorama, but of this they have no proof,
and often they’re mistaken, and to foothills as unfair
as men on mountaintops, who hold themselves from them aloof.

The views from mountaintops seem more spectacular
than those observed on foothills by those who don’t try to climb,
but both provide great chances for the macula
to see beyond the blind spot close or distant the sublime.
