Outside all of the glass

A world is moving fast

Rotating in daily circles

Measuring as we hurtle



Through lives steadily

With goals at the ready

Some clear as the glass

Others not quite up to task



But we do go on to pursue

Objectives not painted blue

Some are multi-colored ...

Which we stack in layers



Always seeing the underside

And this fills us with pride ...

For we have cleaned glass

And can see thru the past ...
