when is a worker like an Everest summit mountain climber...
when that colossal project months years in planning
long months years in construction execution
is finally approaching epic finish
when the worker like an Everest summit mountain climber
is near the summit takes exhausted last few steps
stands on the rooftop of the world
to cast exhausted gaze across
peaks Himalayan mountain ranges and can say
like Sir Edmound Hiliary did with sherpa Tenzing Norgay
after the summit
climb in exaltation supreme effort
vindication ''we knocked
the bastard off''
