Metropolitan Man wears the mask of the commuter.
Faces Today's challenges via trusty computer.

Odd, him looking down from a mountain top.

Wholely beautiful, there is a lake of silver
     perfectly still but for a distant man
          ant-busy at the edge.

A fisherman's son of an age
     with the work-wear swaddling him,
          the jumble of tired equipment
                and small family boat.

Mr Metro looks down and wonders
     what project his fellow is about.
He tries putting himself in the sailor's place,
     close as he'll get to reflection
          on the innate spirit in nature.

But this is a picture from a magazine.

"The dentist will see you now."
