Surveyor Extraordiare

By Dani

Transversing the blackened rivers
Traveling with the stream
Hundreds of us each but how many a new
How many are taking that deep breath

At fifteen you said
“Take a deep breath Gurl”
“As you walk through the Doors”
At double that time I will heed that advice

This place is new and quaint
It is strange and the lights are faint
It smells of potential and history
A new space to be ingrained

Powering on and sharing names
Papers and screens and chairs that spin
Candy and decor personality all around
These people are sweet they are all so kind

This space is new
If I’ve been surveying well
This place brings hope
But will it be a lucky 13 for this
